- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- If you’re making the cookies on a warm day or in a warm kitchen, chilling the cookie dough before baking will keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- For a slightly different version, add 1/2 teaspoon of orange flavoring or the zest of an orange to the dough.
