To bake, simply place the frozen cookie dough discs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have some space between them as they will spread. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures they hold their shape and achieve the desired texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard chocolate chip cookies, these include the addition of almond pieces, which contribute a distinct nutty crunch and flavor profile. The Ghirardelli brand is known for its quality chocolate, which influences the richness of the chocolate chips used in this product.

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining cookie dough discs frozen in their original packaging. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer until ready to bake. Do not refreeze thawed dough.
