For best results, ensure the butter is properly softened before creaming with the sugar. This will create a light and airy cookie. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts, for a unique flavor. The filling can be customized with a hint of almond extract or a pinch of cinnamon for added complexity. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
