Melting moments cookies

Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle, the perfect cookie for the whole family. These are great for any time of the year and the dough freezers really well too. To freeze the dough, roll into a worm shape and wrap in plastic wrap. When you want to bake it, take it out the freezer, let it thaw and then cut slices and bake as normal.
