I'm making cookies, from scratch.

cant help it, im making more. I like to ball up the dough just like I was gonna bake it, but freeze them instead. After they are hard frozen you can put em in a bag and keep them for a long time. Bake a few when ever. This avoids having stacks on stacks of cookies. Bonus, you can bake the frozen dough balls straight away. No thawing required!
