Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies; Prep: 10 min, Cook: 10 min.

- Place rounded tablespoonfuls on an un-greased cookie sheet, bake 8-10 mins as needed, and then cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet before moving the cookies on to a wire cooling rack.

Place the single-serving amounts in freezer-proof containers and seal tightly. If aluminum foil is preferred, wrap and fold edges to seal tightly and place on a flat surface to avoid cookies becoming deformed.

Cookies will remain fresh in the freezer upwards of 2 months. Before unwrapping, make sure to thaw cookies entirely at room temperature. Then just enjoy!
