Do Levain cookies need to go in the fridge?

Hi bakers! Quick question: do Levain cookies need to be refrigerated to stay fresh? Or can they hang out on the counter like regular cookies? I'm curious about the best way to store them. Thanks for your help!

Yes, chill Levain cookie dough for a few hours! It enhances flavor and texture.

Levain cookies are best enjoyed fresh and gooey! According to Levain Bakery themselves, you should skip the fridge. Fridge temperatures can dry them out. They recommend storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freezing them for longer storage.

Levain cookies don't need to go in the fridge if you plan to eat them within a few days. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies to maintain their quality.
