Notes
How to store chocolate chip cookies?
Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature. Line an airtight container with wax paper or parchment paper. You can also use a resealable plastic bag. Place the cookies in a single layer in the container or bag. If you need to stack the cookies, place a layer of wax paper or parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking. Seal the container or bag tightly.
Store the cookies at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight for up to 5 days.
