Preparation

Chef’s notes

FREEZING – The dough can also be frozen in either the log form or sliced. In a log, allow it to chill firm in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Then wrap in an extra layer of foil and place in the freezer. If sliced, let the dough chill for 2 hours and then slice. Place the slices in a freezer safe bag or container to freeze. Both should keep for up to 1 month. (I recommend freezing in slices as it’s very hard to cut the frozen logs of dough).
SHIPPING – These cookies make the perfect gift because they ship very well. Group together the cookies according to flavor, wrapping about 3 together at a time in plastic wrap. Then package accordingly. I recommend wrapping the peppermint cookies in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent the other cookies from absorbing the peppermint flavor.
