Can I freeze chocolate chip cookie dough?

Absolutely? It's my favorite trick for easy baking. Scoop dough balls onto a tray, freeze until solid (about 1 hour), then transfer to a freezer bag. They'll keep for 3 months —just add 1-2 extra minutes when baking from frozen. Sometimes I'll bake just one or two when a craving hits—dangerously convenient.

Why are my cookies flat?

Oh, I've been there. Usually it's one of three things: butter was too soft/melted, dough wasn't chilled enough before baking, or you forgot the baking soda. Warm kitchens are tricky—if your dough feels greasy, chill it for 30 minutes before scooping. Also, check your baking soda's freshness (it expires).

Can I make these without a mixer?

Of course, I've made these with just a wooden spoon when my mixer broke—it takes some elbow grease to cream the butter properly, but totally doable. Just make sure your butter is very soft, and mix vigorously for a full 3 minutes when combining with sugars. Bonus: you'll burn off some cookie calories before eating them.
