The uncooked dough can be saved and baked later. Simply roll the dough into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then freeze. When you’re ready to bake, slice off individual cookies and bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time. The frozen dough should last in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you prefer to slice ahead of time, store the sliced cookie dough between layers of wax paper, then wrap tightly before freezing.
The baked cookies can also be saved for later. After baking, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, where they’ll stay fresh for up to a week. If you’re looking to keep them longer, refrigerating can extend their life to two weeks, while freezing can preserve them for up to three months. Always ensure the cookies are completely cooled before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy. Enjoy your delicious treats!
