Storage: Your chocolate chip cookies cookies may be stored in an air-tight container between layers of wax paper or kitchen parchment. When you are finished packing your cookies, if you are going to store them at room temperature, lay a piece of white bread in the top of the container before you seal it. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread and remain, fresher and softer longer! They will freeze for about 2-4 months.
