- Store the dough, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips. Roll the cookie dough balls in cinnamon powdered sugar before baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze, separating layers with wax paper, for up to 3 months.
- The better the quality of the chocolate, the better these cookies turn out.
