How to Store Pie Crust Cookies
Once fully cooled, these Pie Crust Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. They can also be kept in the refrigerator for 7-10 days!
If you’re planning on freezing these cookies, I would recommend cutting the shapes, adding the toppings, and layering with parchment paper in an airtight container. Freeze the Pie Crust Dough Cookies raw, then keep them for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw them out the night before and bake according to directions.
