Notes
- If you prefer use an electric mixer for this recipe.
- Want to make the dough ahead of time? Just wrap in plastic wrap and seal in a bag or air tight container. Keep in refrigerator (1 week) or freezer (3 months).
- Takes about 3 hours to thaw frozen cookie dough in fridge.
- Not recommended to thaw cookie dough at room temp. due to dough containing eggs which could cause bacteria to grow. Yuck!
- Want to go the extra mile and put this dessert over the top? Serve a wedge shaped cookie warmed with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top and just wait for the loud chorus of yummy noises from those you are entertaining!!
