I have been salivating over this recipe ever since I found it, but have delayed making them because I didn't have some of the ingredients on hand. By chance, I found butterscotch chips last weekend, and I can't wait to finally test this recipe out. The recipe makes a lot of cookies, and I would like to freeze a portion of the dough for future eating. Since the chilling of the dough makes a lot of difference in how the cookies bake-out, do you have any tips/reminders/warnings on how to freeze the cookies, defrost the cookies or bake the cookies? Thanks in advance!
Actually, Clarissa, these are very easy to freeze and bake. Just deposit close together on a baking sheet, put the sheet in the freezer and, once they're frozen, bag the balls of dough. To bake, take them out and out on a baking sheet while your oven preheats. Bake perhaps a minute longer than the recipe says... depends on how long it took your oven to preheat/how much the dough thawed. For more info., take a look at our FREEZE post. Good luck - PJH
