"PRE-COOKIES"

I love to make a big batch of cookie dough to have ready for later. Once my favorite mix-ins are added (any or a combination of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans, walnuts, raisins, craisins, etc.), I scoop out the dough onto a parchment-lined tray, pop in the freezer for a few hours, then store these delicious little nuggets in a freezer bag or air-tight container in the freezer for up to a few weeks until ready to bake. This is great to have on hand for freshly baked cookies when unexpected guests come over or you just need a little treat. Though, of course, baking is optional!
