You can either bake all the cookies, by placing them spaced out, 3 inches apart in a baking sheet lined with parchment or baking mat, or bake just a few, and transfer the solid frozen cookies to a ziplock bag to bake at a later time.
Bake the cookies in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden on top.
