Step 7/7
Pour the mixture into a piping bag and spread over half of the cookies. For better application, the cream can also be placed in the fridge for several hours (or in the freezer for a short time). You can also work without a piping bag and spread with a spoon. Finally, cover all the cookies with one of the remaining cookies and store in a sealable tin in the fridge. The cookies taste best when they have been chilled for several hours so that the cream has firmed up a little.
