Tried freezing cookie dough scoops for later baking and it actually made them come out chewier
Had a batch of chocolate chip cookies turn into flat frisbees last Tuesday, so I froze the rest of the dough balls on a tray for 30 minutes before baking and they came out thick and perfect, has anyone else noticed frozen dough bakes way better?

My 30 minute freezer trick saved my oatmeal raisin cookies from spreading into pancakes too.

Three degrees, that's the sweet spot I've found for freezer temp on cookie dough. A solid 30 minutes at that temp firms up the butter enough to slow spread without freezing the dough solid and ruining the texture. Your mileage may vary depending on your oven's hot spots, but it's a solid baseline to start from.

Right, I started chilling my dough for 20 minutes and it fixed my chocolate chip spread problem.
