Notes
How to Freeze: Using a 1/4 cup measuring, measure out all the cooking dough and place it onto a baking sheet, and flash freeze. Once the cookies are frozen place them into a freezer bag. Freeze for 2-3 months.
How to Cook From Frozen: Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit and place frozen cookies 2 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies until they look set around the outside edge but slightly underbaked in the middle, about 12-15 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before placing cookies on a cooling rack to completely cool.
