Notes
Notes: This recipe makes 27 large cookies. I used a size 40 cookie scoop but you can use a 1/4 measuring cup instead.
- To freeze Cookies: scoop onto a tray and flash freeze. Once solid, transfer frozen cookie dough balls into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- For Refrigerator Cookies: use margarine instead of butter and place whipped cookie dough batter into a large container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. Scoop and bake as needed. Note: margarine won't solidify like butter making it easier to scoop.
