Make Ahead
Our cookies can be made 5 to 7 days in advance (for maximum freshness). The cookies should be stored in an airtight container and left in a cool, dry spot until ready to enjoy. If you notice the cookies begin to harden a little you can add a slice of bread to the container to soften the cookies back up.
Freezing
Our baked cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months, stored in a resealable freezer bag. They can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or left on the counter for about 20 minutes to thaw.
If you want to freeze the cookie dough balls, place them onto a parchment lined plate once they're coated in cinnamon-sugar, making sure the balls don't touch one another. Place the plate in the freezer for about 1 hour or until they're fully frozen. Once the dough balls are fully frozen, transfer them to a resealable freezer bag for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, transfer the frozen balls balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
