Recipe yields about 33-34 cookies, using a regular small cookie dough scoop. Pro tip: I only bake about 6 or 8 cookies and freeze the rest. To do this, simply form and shape all of your cookie dough balls and place into a gallon sized zip top bag (with some parchment or wax paper on the bottom) and freeze laying flat. To bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and add on about 3-4 minutes to the baking time. No need to defrost! Also, I think the "bake from frozen" cookies taste better! You'll notice more depth of flavor from the vanilla and the sugar will taste sweeter. In terms of texture, chilled cookie dough produces a more evenly golden-brown cookie with a crisper edge and chewier center. Read more about this in my blog post above.
