The Best Chocolate Chip Recipe on the Planet -  I FREEZE my cookie dough first. Yep. I think it’s the key to getting the perfect outer crunch and a soft center to my cookies. So go ahead and whip up this dough, scoop it into dough balls and freeze it overnight {or for up to 3 months}. Then, when you are ready to bake some cookies, add an extra minute to the baking time. That’s it. That’s my cool trick to making the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet.
