<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHeart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room-temperature up to 2-3 days (for optimal texture satisfaction). You can bake a portion of the dough and refrigerate or freeze the remaining dough for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Refrigeration:<\/strong> Store the cookie dough in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 72 hours. Beyond this point, the dough may start to lose its freshness. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFreezer Bags or Containers:<\/strong> Portion the cookie dough into individual balls or flatten it into discs. Place the portions in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen portions to a freezer bag or airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLog or Roll Form:<\/strong> Shape the cookie dough into a log or roll it into a cylinder using plastic wrap. Wrap the log tightly and secure the ends. Refrigerate for short-term storage (up to 72 hours) or freeze for longer storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThawing Cookie Dough:<\/strong> When ready to bake, transfer frozen cookie dough portions to the refrigerator and let them thaw overnight. For a quicker thaw, place the portions on a baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cookies can be baked directly from frozen, but add a few extra minutes to the baking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
