How long can I keep these?

They last for a good week in an airtight container, but in our case they vanish within two days.

Can the dough be made ahead of time and frozen?

Yes, absolutely! Make sure that you take it out of the freezer and keep it at room temperature for about 5 minutes before baking if it's frozen solid. This helps it spread the appropriate amount.
