How Do I Make Uniform Sized Cookies?
The best way to make uniform sized cookies is by using a cookie scoop. There are a variety of sized scoops you can buy, ranging from 2 inches all the way up to 4 inches. Keep in mind the bigger the cookies are, the longer they will take to bake, and the smaller they are, the faster they will bake.
How Do You Store Levain Chocolate Chip Cookies?
This Levain chocolate chip cookie recipe is wonderful for making ahead of time because they are easy to store. Keep the freshly baked cookies in an airtight storage container, and they will last 3-5 days. You can keep them on the counter, in the pantry, or even refrigerate them if you want to. Either way, they are lovely to grab for a snack on the go or an easy dessert.
Can You Freeze Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Yes, you can freeze these Levain chocolate cookies! Keep them in a container that has a tight-fitting lid or use a freezer-safe bag and remove extra air. Then freeze the chocolate cookies for up to 3 months. Sometimes I will make a double or even triple batch, so I have some on hand whenever I get a craving for them. They are so easy to grab and eat. Just thaw them on the counter, and once they aren’t frozen, you can start eating them.
