You sure can. I usually freeze it in "log" shapes. I wrap them in Saran Wrap and then stick them in Ziplock freezer bags. Then you can just partially thaw, slice and bake when you want to make cookies. You can also just freeze the whole mound.

Best Freezing Method(s):
Regular Cookies: This includes most cookies like peanut butter, chocolate chip, sugar, shortbread, etc. Bake and cool completely. Place them in rigid containers or plastic bags for freezing.
Frosted Cookies: Freeze cooled frosted cookies on cookie trays or plates until frosting is firm, then transfer them to airtight containers or plastic freezer bags.
Meringue Type Cookies: These cookies do not freeze well.
Cookie Dough: Form dough into a cylinder and seal in plastic or heavy-duty aluminum foil. Commercially prepared cookie dough that is vacuum packed should not be frozen due to the contents being under pressure. Non vacuum packed dough can be frozen the same way as homemade cookie dough. Freeze pre-cut unbaked cookies the same way you would freeze baked cookies.
Suitable Packaging: Freezer containers should be moisture and vapor resistant and should not be prone to cracking or breaking at low temperatures. Containers should provide protection against absorbing flavors or odors and should be easy to label. Suitable packaging for freezing cookies includes freezer-grade plastic bags, rigid plastic containers or glass containers, tins and heavy-duty aluminum foil. Separate layers of cookies or pre-cut dough with wax paper.
Maximum Storage Time: Baked cookies and cookie dough will both freeze for 6 months or more at 0ºF when properly wrapped and sealed.

I have frozen ch.chip cookie dough lots of times. I actually put it in tin foil and form into into a log like the store bought dough and just slice off how ever much I want to make.

Sure. I do it all the time when I get ready to make Christmas cookies. I make up the dough and freeze it. Then I defrost it the day before I bake the cookies.

Roll the uncooked dough into a fat sausage shape, wrap in cling film and freeze. When needed, partly thaw out (easier to manage than thawing completely) and slice thinly and put on tray and then bake. It only takes a few minutes to thaw.

Yes - it is best to wrap it first in wax or freezer paper then place in a freezer zip top label clearly and it will last for 3 months. Good Luck!

Yes but put it on wax paper first then roll it up, then wrap it in saran followed by foil. This keeps the other smells out and makes it easy to slice and place on cookie sheets after it thaws for about 15 minutes or so(not completely thawed but enough to get your knife to go through easily).(I guess Mary beat me to the punch)lol

Yes but roll balls out of cookie dough, or it will be hard to do once they are softened. and the dough can get squishy.

Absolutely! Just make sure you store it in an airtight container or wrapped well in plastic wrap so that it doesnt get freezer burn or go bad.
