How do I best store cookies?
Most cookies are best stored in an airtight container and usually last about a week.
Cookie jars are fine if you plan to eat your cookies within a couple of days, but they usually dry out quickly in a jar.
For best results I suggest a tupperware type container with an airtight lid.

- Roll the dough into 1" balls and place about 2" apart on a prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press the dough balls down just a little and bake at 325 degrees F for about 9-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, they will be WAY too soft to move. Gently press the cookies down with a fork or a spoon to create an actual cookie shape.
