Notes
STORE/FREEZE
Store cookies in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper between the layers. They will last for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet for 1 to 2 hours or until they're firm and frozen. Layer the cookies, placing a sheet of parchment paper between each layer, in an airtight container. They’ll keep 3 months.
