Storage Suggestions
If you manage to not eat the whole tray of cookies immediately, these (cookie name) store well. Once cookies have completely cooled, here is how you can store them:
- Counter: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 4 days at room temperature. If you want to try and get the cookies to last even longer without becoming crumbly cookies, add a slice of bread into the container of cookies. The bread will give the cookies something to draw moisture from.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days in a refrigerator.
- Freezer: You can freeze precooked cookie dough for cookies later. Just roll out and freeze for 30 minutes, and then transfer to an airtight, freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To store cooked cookies, let them cool completely before you put them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Do you hAve to use margarine or could I just unsalted butter?
You could use unsalted butter. The cookie may be a little flatter. They are so tasty! Butter does add a delicious taste!
Hello!
Can you make this dough a day early and refrigerate? Thank you!
Sure, it will be fine. Put the dough in an airtight container.
350 degrees in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Can I use butter? If somewhat kind? Why should I use an increased cookie sheet? Thank you 😀
These cookies are baked at 350 Fahrenheit. You could use butter, any brand will work. You cook them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
These are absolutely amazing !! I am 49 years old and had never baked or ate this type of cookie, until this past weekend. I had no idea what I was missing out on. Thank you for such a superb recipe, it’s a keeper , for sure. I have a new favorite cookie. I used real butter and refrigerated the dough before baking and they were perfection.
I made them and they did not come out. They didn’t spread flat and are raw in the middle.
