How to store the chocolate crinkle cookies

The cookies should be stored in an airtight container, they will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be stored in the fridge and they will last up to 7 days.

You can either freeze the cooled baked cookies in a freezer safe bag or container. Or you can freeze the dough wrapped in plastic and placed in a freezer safe bag. Freeze the dough before rolling in icing sugar. Thaw the dough over night in the fridge, then form into shape and roll in icing sugar before baking. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
