ROOM TEMPERATURE
These cookies will last for 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place.
FREEZER
To freeze these as raw dough, Add rounded tablespoon-sized dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer, and freeze for 2 hours or until dough balls are completely frozen. Once frozen, add dough balls to an airtight freezer bag and mark the bags with the date (this dough will last up to 30 days for best taste), baking temperature, and time. I would add 1-2 minutes to the bake time for frozen dough balls.
To freeze baked, store cooled cookies in an airtight, freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 30 days for best taste.
