Notes

Freeze cookie dough. Place cookie dough balls on a baking sheet. Stick it in the freezer. Once the dough is solid transfer them to a freezer-safe ziploc. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To bake, allow them to thaw a bit before putting them in the oven. You may need to add an extra minute or two to compensate for the chillier dough.

STORE baked cute Halloween cookies in an airtight container on the counter or in the freezer. When storing at room temperature add a piece of white bread into the container to help keep them softer longer, store for 3-4 days.
