Notes
Store cooked chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Alternatively, you could freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Then bake them as desired in a 350 F oven for 11-18 minutes depending on their size.
To freeze – place dough balls in a single layer on a sheet pan in the freezer for 20 minutes. Then you can place the dough balls into a bag or another airtight container to keep them frozen. The reason for placing them in the freezer on a sheet pan in a single layer to freeze is that it ensures that the dough balls won’t stick to one another.
