Can I freeze cookie dough?
You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months – just allow it to thaw and bake. You can also freeze the cookies after they are baked for up to three months – although they go pretty fast in our house!
How do I get chewy cookies?
To get chewy cookies, bake them for 12 minutes as opposed to 13 minutes. They’ll be soft and gooey when they leave the oven but will firm up as they cool down.
