Notes
- Ensure your cookies are completely cool before you even think about storing them.
- Add them into an airtight container. If they’re a bit on the softer side, you can layer them between sheets of parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
- Store your container at room temperature for up to a week.
- These can last a couple of months, wrap them up well and freeze them. Just remember to let them thaw at room temperature when you’re ready for a cookie fix.
