Notes

Storage: Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture. Make-Ahead: Bake the cookie layers up to 2 days ahead; wrap tightly and store at room temperature. Frosting can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature and rewhip before using. Variations: Add 1 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the dough, or substitute milk chocolate or white chocolate chips. For a different frosting, use cream cheese frosting instead of vanilla buttercream.
