FAQ About the Recipe
How Do I Store Cookies?
After the cookies have completely cooled, you can store them in an air-tight container for up to a week in a cool and dry place.
Can I Freeze Cookies?
Yes, you can.
If you bake them, let them cool and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place them in the freezer until they are frozen.
Then place the cookies in a freezer-safe container and place wax paper between the layers. They will last in the freezer for up to three months.
If you are making the dough up and NOT baking them, follow the steps above, except for the baking.
To bake the cookies, pre-heat the oven to 350 and place the frozen dough on a silicone lined cookie sheet and bake 12 – 15 minutes. They will take a bit longer since they are frozen.
