Notes
I like to portion out the cookie dough with a medium size cookie scoop, chill the scooped portions (covered with plastic) until they are very firm, then put the scooped portions in a big freezer bag and bake as needed. The cookies are best when baked with dough that has been chilled for about 24 hours, so I recommend keeping the portioned dough balls in the refrigerator for the first 24 hours and transferring to the freezer for storage. That is, if you decide not to bake them all at once!
