Notes

Make ahead into cookie dough logs, ready to slice and bake.
Divide the cookie dough into quarters, roll them into logs and warp them in parchment paper and plastic. You can either freeze them for a month or two or put them in the fridge for approximately 5 days when you’re ready to slice and bake.
For frozen cookies, take out on the freezer and let them come to room temperature before baking.

Baked cookies last 3-4 days in an airtight container
