How to Freeze Cookie Dough

0 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. This will prevent the cookie dough from sticking to it as it freezes.
1 If the cookie dough needs to chill before you bake it, let it do that. Once it's chilled (if necessary), scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You can scoop these relatively close together in a single layer, but don't let them touch because then they'll freeze as one.
2 When all your cookies have been scooped, transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours. Once frozen solid, simply transfer the frozen dough into a freezer bag.
3 Label the bag with the date the cookies were frozen, as well as baking instructions. I  include the oven temperature and bake time on the bag so I don't have to find the recipe when I'm ready to bake myself a cookie.
4 When you want a freezer cookie, preheat the oven to the specified temperature and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
5 Bake straight from the freezer for 1-2 minutes more than the original recipe states, and enjoy warm!
