  • Place the dough balls onto a lined tray in a single layer.
  • Freeze the dough balls on the tray until solid, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To bake, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the frozen dough balls onto a lined baking tray.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate, per cookie. Makes 20 to 24 cookies. Freeze time is 1 to 2 hours on the tray. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. Do not thaw before baking; baking from frozen keeps the cookies thick and soft. Slightly underbaking gives a softer, bakery style centre. Freeze the balls flat first so they do not stick together. Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking if you like. Dark, milk or white chocolate all work.
