Notes
Avoid flat cookies. Keep the butter and dough from getting too warm. If needed, chilling the dough will help keep the butter in the dough cold and keep the cookies from spreading.
Store cookie dough, wrapped with plastic, in the fridge for 1-2 days. You can also freeze the dough for 3-4 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. Add a piece of white bread into the container to keep the cookies soft. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
