You can make these traditional Latin American cookies ahead of time in a couple of different ways. You can mix the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and return to it the next day for rolling and cutting. Or you can bake the shortbread cookies and wait to add the filling. Once you add filling to your cookies, they will soften a bit so it’s a good idea not to fill them too soon. You also don’t want to leave them out and allow them to dry out.
