      Hi Bree, I haven’t actually tried freezing the dough but it’s worth a try. You can freeze most cookie dough, so I would give it a try.

    absolutely delicious…I refrigerated while the oven preheated (and between batches) which definitely helped to keep the cookies firm while baking. will make it again 🙂
