A great thing to try – I make a quadruple recipe and then scoop all the dough out into balls, flatten them out a little, and freeze them on a tray. After they are frozen I can take them off the tray and store in the freezer in a plastic container. We take out 6-8 at a time and pop them in the oven. It is heaven sent when you have a craving for cookies but don’t want to deal with the mess!

Your last paragraph reminded me of something that happened while I was dating my husband. I was telling my mom that my boyfriend had baked me chocolate chip cookies. She exclaimed, “All that work to clean up!” And I answered, “I said he baked me cookies, I didn’t say he cleaned up!”
