How to store homemade cookie bars:

These cookies will last in an airtight bag or container on the counter for up to 3 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.
