Notes

How to store these cookies?

Ensure your cookies have cooled completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage you can also freeze them in a zip-top bag for 1 month up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and for that freshly baked cookie taste, heat them up for 3 minutes at 350°F.

Yes! Once the walnut chocolate chip cookies dough is scooped onto the baking sheet, flash freeze the cookie dough balls until solid. Transfer to a freezer safe bag and store in the freeze for up to 30 days. Bake from frozen adding a few minutes to the baking time.
