Best Cookie Croissant Tips

If you need to save some time before an event or party, freeze the cookie dough in cookie balls and make them as you need them or right before you’re ready to serve. 

The sad thing about these cookies is they don’t keep as well as some cookies because the croissant gets hard. 

Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. Just microwave for about 10-15 seconds before eating.
