Notes
How to Store
Room temperature: Pop your cookies in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for about a week—if they last that long, that is. Freezing baked cookies: Layer them with parchment paper and freeze for up to three months. Great for making a big batch ahead of the holidays or whenever a craving hits. Freezing the dough: Roll the dough into balls and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them in the oven from frozen and add a minute or two to the baking time. Easy and convenient!Nutrition
