Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prepare the dough in the morning and chill it. Bake later in the day and assemble when you have a few quiet minutes. The flavors stay fresh.

My cookies spread too thin. What went wrong?

Most likely the butter was too soft or the dough was too warm. Chill for 10 to 20 minutes and try again. Also check flour measurement. You may need a tiny bit more flour if your dough feels very loose.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes. Quick oats make a softer cookie. Rolled oats add chew and texture. Pick according to the texture you prefer.

Is the marshmallow filling safe for children?

Yes, the filling uses store-bought marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar. If you are serving very young children, monitor small bites because the filling is sticky.

How do I make the filling less sticky for sandwiches?

Beat in 1 tablespoon of softened butter or chill the filling for a few minutes. That firms it slightly and makes spreading easier.
