In reply to Catherine Dobbs. Hi Catherine! It can be chilled overnight. The dough may be a little tough to roll out the next day so you may want to leave it at room temperature for a little bit before rolling. :)

I used 3/4 teaspoon LorAnn Oils strawberry emulsion in place of the freeze dried strawberries. Worked perfectly for me. I prefer the artificial strawberry flavor in my baked goods. If you’re needing a specific number of cookies make more then you think. Each tray, at least one leaked even using the same technique to seal it. I baked from frozen at 350F for 12 minutes; they were perfectly moist and I forwent the ganache I think it would have been just too much and too sweet.

In reply to Becca. Hi Becca! I don't want to say it's impossible, but the dough may be a little more difficult to work with. I would probably fill the cookie before freezing. :)

I’m guessing you can freeze the cookie dough then let it come to room temp and add the strawberry filling and bake? I would like to make a big batch ahead of time to have ready for orders. Thanks!

In reply to Kathleen. Hi Kathleen! I don't think you would have any issues doing that, but I would probably wrap/cover them while they sit in the freezer. :)

I just watched your video on making these cookies and immediately wanted to make some for Valentine’s Day – I needed more cookies so I cut the measurements in half (did a 29 gram cookie dough to half of the strawberry buttercream) and instead of the ganache I drizzled them with pink chocolate melts – they look absolutely gorgeous however here is what I learned – ALWAYS trust Sam!! They did not have enough strawberry center to give it that good strawberry flavor, so it’s much better to make the full size cookie and use the full amount of strawberry filling – also don’t skip the ganache!! I wish I had put on the ganache and then drizzled with the pink chocolate, the cookie was a little dry without the ganache- so always trust Sam and make these cookies exactly as her recipe states – they are delicious!! Thanks Sam!!
