Oatmeal Cookies

The cookie dough can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before scooping to make portioning easier. Alternatively, portion the dough onto baking sheets, freeze until solid, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Place a piece of bread in the container to maintain moisture and keep cookies soft. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months, separating layers with parchment paper.
