Store cookie dough. Cover the browned butter chocolate chip cookie dough and chill it in the fridge for 1-2 days before baking it. Freeze cookie dough. Log form: Divide the dough into two sections and form a log. Wrap each one tightly with plastic and again with foil and freeze. Thaw before scooping and baking. Cookie dough balls: Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours. Transfer solid dough to a container and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen by adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time or let them thaw before baking. STORE. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for 3-5 days. Placing a piece of white bread into the container can help keep them soft. FREEZE. Place cooled cookies in a freezer storage bag, using parchment paper or wax paper to separate layers, and freeze for 1-2 months.
