Notes
I make my chocolate cookie dough several days in advance. The dough stores well in the fridge for about a week (make sure it's covered so it doesn't dry out). I also usually double my recipe so I have extra to give away to friends and family.
Once you've baked the cookies, store them in an air-tight container. They will last for 3-5 days.
