    How do you keep the shortbread crunchy and without absorbing moisture from the jam if you keep them for a couple of days?

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      The jam would have to be thick more like preserve consistency in order for it not to sog up the cookie.

    • Kate

    Thank you for answering my question. I’m about to bake them and will report back on how good they are although I’m sure they’ll be delicious.

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      No Problem, Kate! I will glad to hear any feedback!

    • Kate

    I’ve read some of the comments. Can I bake and refrigerate and then, right before serving put in the filling? This way they won’t get soggy. One of my fillings will be dolce de leche which may make them mushy.

    Thank you,
    Kate

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Sure, Kate! I think that will work too.

    • gary p

    they always soften after being filled. it may take a day. to happen but they do not stay crisp during storage.

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hi Gary, are you using a runny jam?

    • Amie

    Do you find that these cookies stay crunchy even after 1 day or so with the filling? I’ve made something similar and the texture is great on day 1 but not as great after that.

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      I haven’t made them in a while but I don’t recall them getting soggy. Do opt for a thicker jam and try to bake them until nicely brown on the bottom and edges. Store in the fridge.

    Hi Alyona. Your cookies look amazing
    How many cookies are you get
    Thank you ?

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Luda, thank you. I got around 59 sandwiched cookies using a flower cookie cutter with about a 2″ diameter. It may vary depending on how big you cut your cookies out (mine were on the smaller side.)
