Notes
Make ahead instructions: Prepare the cookie dough up to 5 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Or make the cookies 1-2 days in advance.
To freeze cookie dough: Scoop the cookie dough into dough balls and place them on a baking sheet. “Flash freeze” the dough by covering it loosely with plastic wrap and putting it in the freezer for 1 hour. Once the dough has hardened, move the dough balls to a freezer safe container and store for up to 3 months. Allow dough to thaw on the counter before baking.
