  • You can freeze the unbaked cookies and bake them straight from the freezer. Simply preheat your oven to 300°F and place the frozen cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 23 minutes, and then check. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the center is still soft.
