The Make Ahead Cookie Mix can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. This allows for spontaneous cookie baking! For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or almonds, in place of walnuts. Ensure the butter is softened properly, but not melted, to achieve the right consistency of the cookie dough. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
