Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yum! This was my first attempt at making chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Is there an easier way to mix up the dough that I don't know about? Or is mixing in the flour supposed to feel like a workout? I just used a fork for both the creaming step and also for the flour step. Mixing around and around in a circle got tiring and I even had to take a break. But we got cookies out of it so I'm happy! We got a lot of cookies actually. Can I toss these in the freezer at this point? Or should I have frozen the cookie dough if I wanted to spread it out over a longer time?

Edited to add:Right out of the oven they were soft and chewy. But once they had cooled, they turned hard and crunchy. Microwaving on high for 15 seconds gives me a crisp exterior with a chewy inside. I like my cookies chewy so the microwave saves it. Is there a way to make it stay chewy on its own? Add back more butter? Make the cookies bigger?
