Chocolate Chip Cookies: Bake Now. Freeze For Later.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

Ohhh … that ooey, gooey yummy-licious little treat! I’m talking about a homemade chocolate chip cookie. But not just any chocolate chip cookie. I’m talking about one that holds the perfect balance of sweet and a hint of saltiness. My recipe makes 5 to 6 dozen cookies, so you can bake some to eat now, and freeze the rest to eat later. And, with school right around the corner, freezing these makes for quick homemade snacks for school lunches.

Preheat convection or conventional oven to 350° F. Bake 10 minutes in a convection oven or 12 minutes in a conventional oven.

Diva’s Tip

If you want to freeze the dough, simply separate it into even portions and place in freezer-safe containers. Press plastic wrap on top of the dough and cover it with an airtight lid.
