Notes
- cookies can be scooped to freeze, by scooping all cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper spaced far enough apart that cookies aren’t touching each other. Then freeze for 30 minutes. Once frozen remove from the freezer and transfer to a freezer bag and label with date and cooking instructions.
