⏲️ Storage
To Store: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 5-6 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Freeze: Portion the cookie dough on a baking sheet and flash freeze for one hour. Place all the frozen cookie dough balls into a freezer bag. Seal tight and label. Frozen cookie dough will last up to 3 months.
Cookies can be baked from frozen (they will need a little bit more time.
Baked cookies can also be frozen. I like to double bag the cookies before freezing. Baked cookies will last 3-4 weeks in the freezer.
⭐ Tips
✔️ Don't skip the salt - it helps bring out the chocolate flavor in both the Nutella and the chocolate chips.
