Temperature: Serve these cookies at room temperature. If you’ve just made them, allow them to cool completely before serving to ensure they hold their shape.
Storage Tips:
Cooling and Storing: Ensure the cookies are completely set before storing them. Place them in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming too dry or losing their shape.
Refrigeration: For longer shelf life, store the cookies in the refrigerator. They can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Just make sure they are well-covered to avoid absorbing any odors from other foods.
Freezing: If you want to keep them for an extended period, these cookies freeze well. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
