How to store homemade cookies:
These cookies will last in an airtight bag or container on the counter for up to 4 days.
You can also store the raw cookie dough or baked (cooled) cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to use the dough, remove from freezer and let soften up just enough so you can easily form balls of dough. Then, follow recipe instructions.

I did make & I like to take a recipe and make it mine… so used your basic recipe, but added butterscotch chips also and I had ran out of vanilla, so used coconut. And they tasted perfectly fine. Thanks for sharing.

I’m fixing to, I’ll update when done & how they turned out.
