Freezer-Friendly Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and the sugars until smooth. Add the vanilla then mix in the eggs one at a time. Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats.

Freezing instructions: Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough using your preferred size cookie scoop and form into balls. Place all the dough balls onto the lined cookie sheet and freeze for about 2 hours. Transfer the frozen dough balls into a zip-lock bag (freezer bag) and freeze.

Baking instructions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the frozen dough balls onto parchment paper lined baking trays, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Don’t over-bake. Immediately after removing trays from oven, gently press the variation(s) of your choice (chocolate chips M&M’s or pretzels) into the top.

If you don’t want to mess with the freezing part, that is totally fine. Just preheat oven to 350 F and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown edges are visible. While soft on top, lightly press in the variation(s) of your choice.
