Notes
*To freeze, place the balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in freezer for a few hours until dough is completely frozen. Transfer frozen balls of dough to a freezer bag. (I can fit 1 dozen frozen cookies into a 1-quart freezer bag.) To bake, place frozen balls of dough onto a cookie sheet and bake as directed above, adding another 1-3 minutes to the time.
