Notes
STORE baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can also store the dough in the fridge for 7–10 days before baking. Freeze leftover cookies in an airtight bag for up to 6 months.
To FREEZE the cookie dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer; thaw in the fridge before baking. For REHEATING, warm cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to refresh their softness.
