Freezing Instructions: 

If you're not ready to bake yet, you can freeze the cookie dough just after rolling the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mix. This will keep in the freezer for 2 months! Make sure to bring the dough up to room temperature before baking, about 30 minutes, or while your oven is preheating. You can also bake then freeze the cookies, just thaw over night in the fridge for the next day. 

I hope you enjoy the recipe, it really is an act of love to make home made cookies. Until next time see ya!
