After cookies are completely cooled, wrap in plastic wrap and place in airtight plastic container or freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

How to Freeze Cookie Dough

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough on baking sheet; freeze 1 hour or until firm. Transfer to airtight plastic container or freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Freeze up to 1 month. To bake, place frozen cookie dough on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375°F for 15 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.

I've read several reviews of the cookies turning out either crunchy or dry and crumbly and I had neither problem. I did not add the nuts but a few extra chocolate chunks. I did make the cookies slightly larger than the recipe called for but my cookies turned out nice and moist and oh so yummy! I'd totally make these over and over again. Quick, simple and pleasing to the taste buds.

These cookies taste great but are a little crumbly. No one complained, though! They are yummy!!

I baked these cookies yesterday, and they turned out perfect! I'm not much of a baker, so if I can do it, it must be a good recipe! :)

I already reviewed this recipe but I forgot to say I only had extra large eggs so I used 2 or those and I also added 1/4 c ground flax seed. Like I said, "AWESOME." No problems with being crumbly or dry, maybe because of the extra egg & the flax...

I actually cut the recipe in half & it still took roughly 10 minutes to cook. Like another had said though it was rather crumbly, very good with milk poured over it but for those that like to dunk their cookies I'm honestly not sure what to do to make them not crumble so, but I also made mine into bars by baking all the batter in a baking pan rather then making actual cookies.

Great cookies. I used milk chocolate chips instead.

The cookies were too dry and crumbled as soon as I tried to take them off of the cookie sheet. They wouldn't stay together. Perhaps it needs another egg or something to hold them together.

Loved making these because it was quick and easy. My husband loved them and refused to share them with anyone.
