My parents, my brother and his 3 year old son came over the weekend for a short vacation. What better way to welcome my nephew than good old milk and cookies.

I made my cookie dough the day before they arrived and just kept it in the freezer. Frozen cookie dough in our freezer means warm, gooey, fresh-baked cookies any time we want.

The cookies were huge, moist and oh so yummy! I sliced it an inch thick! Chunky cookies freeze best when you portion out the dough beforehand. Scoop out the dough just as if you were about to bake it but freeze them instead. Once frozen, just put all the balls in a plastic freezer bag.

In my case, I just rolled them like a log. Double-wrap the dough in plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn and absorption of odors.
