Instructions
Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 F Degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat and set aside.

- Scoop cookie dough into cookie dough balls using a #24 cookie scoop.
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Press cookie dough down slightly before baking.
- Bake at 350 F Degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set. Centers will still be soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Frosting
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Powdered Sugar and softened Butter. Using a hand mixer, mix the ingredients together.
- Add Vanilla Extract and 1 tablespoon of Milk, and mix to combine. The mixture will be very thick.

Notes
Storage
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days. They're best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.
- Freezing: These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months, which is perfect for preparing for the holidays! It is best to freeze cookies before frosting them and make the frosting fresh before serving them. Store cookies in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap between each cookie to prevent them from sticking together.
