Notes
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze undecorated cookies for up to three months. If decorated, avoid stacking and use parchment paper between layers. Adding a slice of bread to the container helps keep them soft. Consider using sanding sugar for extra sparkle or dipping in chocolate for a twist. Happy baking!
