To freeze cookie dough: Scoop the cookie dough into dough balls and place them on a baking sheet.  “Flash freeze” the dough by covering it loosely with plastic wrap and putting it in the freezer for 1 hour.  Once the dough  has hardened, move the dough balls to a freezer  safe container and store for up to 3 months.  Allow dough to thaw on the counter before baking.
