Thoughts
I froze the baking sheets for 5min to help the cookies keep their shape. The 1/2 tablespoon scoop yielded 3 batches of baking and 55 cookies. I put the cookie dough in the fridge while baking a batch. I ran out of chocolate chips so I did half white and semisweet chips. These cookies have a soft brownie like texture with extra chocolate goodness.
To freeze, roll out individual portions, place on cookie sheet, and put in freezer for 30min-1hr to firm. Remove from freezer, roll into balls, and freeze in a Ziploc bag. Freezing the portions individually ensures they do not stick together. To bake, defrost cookies in the fridge for several hours / the day before. From the fridge, bake at 350 deg F for 11min, cool for 10min. These cookies seem to freeze and bake well.
