However, you can always substitute them for your preference of milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. In fact, this recipe makes a fantastic base for any number of variations.
Cookie dough freezes fantastically well, so make spur-of-the-moment batches of chocolate chip cookies even easier by making the dough in advance and freezing the cookie dough balls. Bake from frozen whenever you need a batch for a treat. This makes it easy to bake just one or a dozen.
