Notes

Leftover cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a week.

To Freeze - Place cookies in an airtight freezer-safe container or ziplock bag, label and date, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Make-ahead options - Unbaked cookie dough can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month. It's best to pre-scoop your cookie dough before refrigerating or freezing so you can bake only as many as you need. For the refrigerated cookie dough, let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes while your oven preheats and bake as instructed. For the freezer cookie dough, thaw overnight in the fridge, let stand for 15 minutes and bake as instructed.
