How to store

You can make all of these cookies ahead of time, and most keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for at least 3 days, up to one week. For some of the cookies, you can also make the cookie dough in advance and refrigerator until ready to bake.

How to freeze

 Store these cookies in an airtight container in layers divided by parchment paper, or in a freezer bag (depending on the cookies), and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Making a batch of cookies at a time and storing in the freezer is the best way to plan out a holiday cookie box with a variety of cookies to gift to friends and family.

Your chocolate chip cookies are the best. We make them every couple of weeks!!

Bake at 345F | 174C for about 6-15 mins * Adjust the time and temperature depending on the oven and the size and thickness of your cookies.Chewy cookies: Be careful not to bake them too long: With my oven, it only takes 6-7 minutes with the size. Keep in mind that even if the cookies are very soft while they are hot, they get a lot harder once they are completely cooled. If you want them to be crispy, no need to worry about it!To enjoy the light and crispy texture, bake the cut-out cookies until you see nice golden caramelization around the edge.
