To Make Ahead:

Shape the dough into balls and freeze them on parchment- or foil-lined cookie sheets until firm. Transfer the frozen balls to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, let the frozen balls stand on an ungreased cookie sheet while preheating the oven to 350°F. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are set and the bottoms are light brown.
