Notes

The dough can also be frozen before baking. Scoop the dough into balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover and place in the freezer for one hour. After an hour, place cookie dough balls in a freezer bag or air-tight container and freeze for up to three months. No need to thaw them when you want to bake them, just place them on a baking sheet and bake at 325°F for 15-17 minutes.
