TIP: Did you know you can freeze extra cookie dough? Yep, you can!  According to most cooking experts for up to 6 months in a storage tub. Or for rolled and sliced cookies you can layer them with wax paper, then double wrap them in wax paper and store in a freezer bag. Most often you DO NOT need 4-5 dozen cookies ready to eat!
