    Storage

    Countertop: Store these cookies in an air-tight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.

    Freezer: Freeze these cookies for up to 3 months in an air-tight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.

    Warm Cookie: For delicious, warm cookies, microwave them for about 30 seconds.

    What to Serve with These Cookies

    • Oreo Frappuccino
    • Salted Caramel Milkshake
    • Kahlua Hot Chocolate, Mexican Hot Chocolate or Regular Hot Chocolate
    • Dalgona Coffee with alcohol or without

    Tips

    • It’s better to remove these cookies from the oven a little underdone than overcooked.
    • Be sure you let your cookies cook for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. The carryover cooking time is what makes them bake to perfection.
    • While you can use liquid or gel food coloring, gel food coloring tends to deliver a more vibrant color.
    • If your cookies are spreading too much, simply allow the cookie dough to rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes before forming the balls of dough.

    FAQ

    Can I double a cookie recipe?

    You can double or even triple this recipe. The amounts remain the same.

    How do you make soft cookies?

    Remove the cookies from the oven just before they're finished baking and let them continue to bake on the cookie sheet.

    How do you store cookies to keep them fresh?

    A resealable dish like Tupperware is the best way. It keeps all extra air away from your cookies.

    Notes

    • You can use either gel or liquid food coloring in this recipe. I find that the gel food coloring gives the cookies a richer color and does not fade as much during the cooking process.
    • You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. They are great reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
    • If your cookies are spreading too much, simply allow the cookie dough to rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes before forming the balls of dough.

      Have you made this dough the day before and refrigerated it? I was hoping to make it 24 hours in advance but am worried it might cause the cookies to not be as tasty.

        As a general rule refrigerating cookie dough for up to 24 hours doesn’t cause any problems with your final result. Just give the dough 20-30 minutes on the counter at room temperature to become pliable so you can make your cookies. Enjoy every bite. We make this recipe all year ‘round. All the best. Karin

      My son asked me for green cookies and I found your recipe. Your pictures looked great and my son was excited to try them. I had no idea these cookies would taste as good as they do. I hid them from the kids or they easily would have eaten them all. My daughter wants these cookies made pink and I promised her I would next time. Thank you for a great recipe my kids and everyone else loves. Well done KD ❤️
