More helpful tips for you.

- The easiest way to add the vanilla cream to your cookies is by using a tablespoon to scoop up the vanilla cream and a teaspoon to help drop it onto the cookie and spread it around in the imprint.
- Refrigerating or freezing the cookies after you have added the vanilla cream and before adding the chocolate frosting can help keep the creamy layer from running or mixing in with the chocolate.
