Twelve portions, frozen. Your kitchen smells like a bakery on a Tuesday.

One step at a time, screen kept awake

What you need

• 1 batchthe chocolate chip cookie dough — same recipe, stopping before the oven

How it goes

1. 1

   Make the chocolate chip cookie dough exactly as written, through the chilling step.

2. 2

   Scoop 12 balls onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze them solid on the tray, uncovered, about an hour. Freezing them separately first is the only reason they do not become one brick.

3. 3

   Once hard, tip them into a container or bag. They keep three months.

4. 4

   To bake: straight from the freezer onto a lined sheet, well apart, 175 °C (350 °F) for 13–15 minutes. No thawing — thawed dough spreads flat.

A couple of things

• Two on a Tuesday is the entire point. Bake what you want and leave the rest frozen.
• They bake better from frozen than fresh — the outside sets before the middle spreads.
