Notes
These cookies do best when stored in a cool area. You can store them at room temperature, but if you know you kitchen tends to be warm then you’ll be better off keeping the cookies in the fridge.
If you store the cookies in the fridge or freezer, place parchment paper in between layers and store in an airtight container. They’ll last for two weeks in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer, and one week at room temperature!.
