Instructions
Freezing cookie dough:
- Portion out the cookie dough using a 1-inch cookie scoop onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. It's okay to place them very close together, since we'll be freezing them, but the portions shouldn't be touching.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the cookie dough portions for at least 6 hours until solid.
- Transfer the frozen cookie dough to a Ziploc bag or plastic container, placing pieces of waxed paper in between the layers. Label and store in the freezer for up to three months.
Baking frozen cookie dough:
- Remove the frozen cookie dough to Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheets while your oven is preheating to the usual baking temperature.
- Bake as directed, adding an additional 2-3 minutes to the total baking time.
