Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- If you like your cookies warm, you can reheat them in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave on low power for 10-15 seconds.
