Notes
- Need to stack your cookies? Make sure to add a sheet of parchment paper in between layers so they stick together.
- Place each of the cookies into a large airtight container and store at room temperature for about a week. As long as the elf cookies are kept in a cool and dry place, they’ll stay fresh!
