jesy's cookie recipe revised

so the cookies were huge and I am a visual eater so 3 points and only one cookie was a problem, I wanted 3 cookies and had them and they were 11 points, too much. the recipe made 36 cookies large cookies.
I went on weight watchers.com and revised some of the ingredients, incluing adding in crasins and changing the flour for some whole wheat flour. 36 cookies still 3 points, but if you make 72 small cookies they are a point a pices.
I thought 72 is too many to have in the house, then I remembered something my mom said a fellow weight watcher and life time memebr. line the pans with parchment, and scoop out all the cookies, all 72, bake one tray of 12 and freeve the other trays. once frozen, remove from oven and freeze dough balls, then can bake as needed and do not have to make 72 at once, nor do i have raw dough in fridge which I would eat.
tried it this am and it made 72 cookiees, bakled 12 froze the remained of the uncooked dough. My mom is so smart!
Here is the recipe:
Oatmeal Choc chip craisin cookies
ingredients
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/4 tsp numeg, ground

3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temp
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal
1 cup semi sweet choc chips
1 cup craisins
directions:

cream granulated sugar and butter, after 3 minutes add brown sugar, once combined, slowly add in eggs (one at a time), slowly beat in flour mixture, scape down the sides and fold in chocolate chips and craisins
measure out 72 cookies on parchment lined baking sheets, bake what you need and freeze the rest,
