Quick question about making this dessert. The recipe says to cool completely which may take longer than I really want to wait during a demo. Is it advisable to premake the cookie base and then do the rest at the party? Will it hold up until then? I'm making this tonight and figure on doing the base in the afternoon but want to make sure it won't ruin things if I do.
 
The cookie should hold up. I've frequently pre-baked cookies at home and taken them to shows.
 
Cookie bases, brownie bases, crescent roll crusts for cold pizzas....all of these I have made ahead of time and taken to the show with no problem!
