Freezer Friendly Cookies

Life with kids is rarely predictable, so having a batch of these cookies stored in the freezer provides that much-needed contingency plan for when you’re running low on time or munchies. Just pop the frozen cookies into lunchboxes and they will be defrosted by morning tea, or leave to thaw for 20 minutes on the kitchen bench for a quick morning tea snack.
