Learning how to make cookies ahead of time can save you time and lower stress when planning your next holiday party.
First, you will need to decide if you want to store your baked cookies for a few days on the counter or in the freezer for a few months.
You can store your baked cookies in the refrigerator for up to a week or two on the counter at room temperature.
Go ahead and bake your cookies as directed, and then either place them on a cooling rack or let them cool completely on a cookie sheet.
