Unfortunately I got stuck with the vegetable dish for our Thanksgiving dinner, but I plan to make these little delights for an upcoming party. I have no ClearJel. Can I use cornstarch, or nothing at all? Also, can you make the cookies ahead and freeze or refrigerate them? How long would they keep at room temperature? Thanks Amy, and Happy Thanksgiving! It's fine to skip the clearjel, the filling won't be quite as thick but won't be runny. You can definitely make the cake part and freeze in a single layer ahead of time for up to 4 weeks. You can serve them at room temperature for a couple of hours, but definitely store in the fridge. Have a great party. ~MaryJane
