Notes
How to store them:
Store them in an air-tight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or a few weeks in a fridge. But eat them sooner for the best taste. Adding a silica gel to the container is a great option if you want your cookies to stay crispy.Chill the dough completely until right before baking. By doing that, they don't spread too much in the oven. I like to freeze them to maximize the result!
