These simple Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for almost any occasion. They are really easy to make, they taste delicious and if you don’t want to bake them all at once, the dough freezes perfectly. Roll the dough into a cylinder, wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you plan on keeping it any longer, then pop it in the freezer! Then when you need cookies just bake as and when you need.
We have included a link to a video of the method on our YouTube, if you prefer to watch.
