To freeze the cookie dough, roll it into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to two months.

When baking, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and optionally, 1 cup of chocolate chunks to the dough.

Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly spaced on prepared cookie sheets.

Add some extra chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, taking them out when they're just barely starting to turn brown.

Let the cookies sit on the baking pan for 2 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
