Same day for freshness or the day before and keep it refrigerated in a plastic ziplock bag.

Thank you so much for replying! I'm sorry to ask one more question, but is it OK to make the dough 2 days in advance, and leave in the refrigerator? Thanks!

It's ok, I am here to help. Yes you can, again, refrigerate the dough in a air sealed ziplock bag and make sure it's at room temperature when you bake it for best results.
