Cool cookies thoroughly before storing them. In dry weather, store crisp
cookies in a container with a loose-fitting lid. If the weather is humid, use
a container that closes tightly.

TIP: Spraying your clean hands with nonstick cooking spray, or using a knife
to cut the dough apart makes for easier handling.
