We Love Cookies!

I'm a sucker for cookie dough.... It's just too good to pass up. Chocolate chip especially. With semi-sweet chocolate chips. NOT milk chocolate. Justin and Carrie sure enjoy it when I make cookie dough too. Yummy ;)
My favorite chocolate chip recipe makes about 9 dozen cookies at a time. So when I make a batch I scoop all the dough out and put the dough balls in the freezer. Once they're frozen I put them all in a gallon bag and I can make cookies whenever I want without having to do the whole process! (This is my "leftovers" after I baked up 30 cookies....)

Carrie also discovered a new way to play with her alphabet puzzle. Who needs to match the letters up in the right spot? Making a tower is way cooler!! I'm pretty sure this picture was taken before the cookie dough incident. Otherwise I think the sugar rush might have messed with her stacking abilities!

Can you share your cookie dough recipe?! I'd LOVE to do that very thing (freezing them)!

What a good idea about freezing them! I feel silly now for never thinking about that. I always am craving cookies but don't want to go through the effort of making them everytime. Problem solved!
