I love these days because the weather is just starting to warm up, everyone is a little more relaxed and I get to spend the day cooking up a storm with my family. There is honestly nothing better than a warm day in the kitchen, cocktail in hand (check out my fave Gin Cocktail) catching up with everyone's lives.

Storage Instructions

You can store the baked cookies in an airtight container or bag. The cookies can be stored at room temperature for 7 - 10 days. Or you can store the sealed cookie dough in the fridge for up to four days.

Alternatively, you can freeze the cookie dough to bake at a later stage. You can store the dough in the freezer for up to three months.
