To STORE your Chewy Ginger Cookies, cover them tightly or place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Add a piece of bread to keep them soft. Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
To FREEZE, place cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature. To REHEAT, warm cookies in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
