You should prepare the cookies part and filling simultaneously. In general, you may eat cookie without filling but need add more sugar to increase the flavor.

This recipe was just ok. As written the dough was powdery and hard to form into balls (even with an additional 1 T butter. The first half did not spread, so I added another 2 T butter and 1T sugar.
If I were to make them again I would add 3 T butter and sugar at the start and use more ginger in the dough (maybe an extra teaspoon). For the filling I would do half butter and half coconut oil but only 1 T of each.
