Notes

How to Store and Freeze

Once cool, you can transfer leftover cookies to an airtight container, and store them at room temperature for up to four days. 
Or, freeze baked cookies for up to two months. To do so, transfer them to a sealable bag, and place a piece of parchment paper between each cookie to prevent them from sticking together. Thaw them in the fridge or at room temperature when you’re ready to eat. 
To freeze the cookie dough, assemble it as normal. Next, portion it into balls, and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for one to two hours or until solid. Then, transfer them to a sealable bag, and freeze for one to two months.
