Freeze and Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

The problem with wanting a few cookies is that you'll have to bake 2 dozen in the process. However, if you make the dough and then freeze it, you can bake as many as you want when you want to have the cookies. All you have to do is add some time in the oven to compensate. You don't have to use the recipe I use below, it should work with any basic cookie, like sugar, peanut butter, and such.


Freeze and Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

Small and large bowl, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, spatula, cookie pan, plate, plastic bags, flat spatula

2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour                          1⁄2 cup granulated sugar

3⁄4 tsp. baking soda                                          2 eggs

3⁄4 tsp. salt                                                           2 tsp. vanilla extract

20 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted                 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.

Gradually add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a cookie pan or plate and put into the freezer for about 30 minutes. Once the drops are frozen, place into a bag to store. This recipe makes a lot, so the bag should last a while if you allow it.

When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 and place the frozen cookies onto a cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

Until I bake next, I'm Sarah
