Storage

Room temperature: Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Freezing: If you want to prep them ahead, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Reheating melted chocolate: If you have leftover chocolate that has hardened, you can reheat it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until smooth again.

💡 Pro Tips

Avoid letting water or steam come into contact with the melted chocolate, as even a tiny amount can cause the chocolate to seize and ruin its smooth texture.
Use a fork or dipping tool to ensure even coating and minimize mess.
Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the cookie on parchment paper to prevent pooling.
Work quickly to avoid the chocolate hardening before you’re done.
Store dipped cookies in a cool, dry place to maintain their texture and appearance.
