Notes
How To Store:
The best part about these cookies? They can be frozen for up to 3 months! Oh, yes, that’s right. After baking and cooling, you can place the baked cookies in an airtight freezer safe zip top bag and put in the freezer.
But, if you’d like fresh baked cookies instead, you can actually freeze the cookie dough itself! Follow the directions all the way to portioning out the dough. From there, place a few inches apart on a lined sheet pan and place in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the cookie dough is frozen solid. From there, place the frozen cookie dough balls in a zip top bag and keep in the freezer for 1-2 months.
You can also keep these cookies in an airtight container or zip top bag on the counter for about a week!
Tips For Success:
- Make sure the butter and eggs are room temperature (about 70℉/21℃)!
- You can substitute unsalted butter for the salted. Just be sure to add ¼ teaspoon of salt in with the flour and baking soda.
- Be careful not to over-mix the cookie dough!
- If baking multiple pans at a time, be sure to check on the cookies at about 8 minutes into the bake time.
- Don’t forget to line your sheet pans.
- It’s best to use a cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are the same size.
