You may want to store cookie dough in the refrigerator between batches. Cookies will store well in refrigerator for about a week. If stored in Freezer use your discretion. Some people prefer to store for shorter times (about a month in freezer). I have kept cookies stored in the freezer for several months and they have tasted fresh after defrosting.
