Notes

Err on the side of underbaked rather than overbaked!
 

Freezing Instructions

Prepare dough and drop onto baking sheet. Freeze for at least an hour on the baking sheet, then transfer to a sealed freezer storage bag.
Bake cookies directly from frozen at 350°F for 11-14 minutes or until just barely golden brown.
