  • Pumpkin Walnut – Add 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and ½ cup walnuts
  • Peanut Butter – Add ½ cup peanut butter

Baking Cookie Dough

  • I highly recommend chilling your dough in the fridge for 30 mins before baking. This will firm your dough up and help keep it from spreading during the baking process.
  • When ready, preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Bake 9-12 mins.

Freezing Cookie Dough

  • Shape your dough into balls.
  • Place on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for at least 10 mins.
  • Place chilled dough balls in Ziploc bag and place in freezer. Dough stays fresh up to 3 months.
  • When ready to bake, dough balls can be spread out on baking sheet and put directly into 350℉ preheated oven. Simply increase baking time to 10-13 mins.
