How to Store Sheet Pan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Store cookie bars in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze, wrap cookie bars individually in plastic wrap then put in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies.
To defrost, let them set at room temperature, uncovered, so they don’t absorb too much moisture.
