Notes
Room Temperature: Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
The chocolate kisses will become melty after they're pressed into the cookies, and you'll want them to set before you pack up the cookies to store. To help the chocolate set more quickly, place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Freezing: These cookies freeze well, sealed in an airtight container, for up to 3 months.
