I've always been intrigued by the idea of frozen cookie dough but never had the chance to give it a try. I had some free time on my hands recently and decided to give it a go. I made my stand by Nestle Tollhouse recipe and added some green m&ms.
Used my cookie scoops to scoop out perfect little dough balls.
Placed them on wax paper on a cookie sheet.
Be sure that they aren't touching because you don't want them to stick together.
Let them freeze for about 6 hours and then you can put them into storage containers.
Once they are completely frozen, you can start repackaging them.
I used small gladware containers and plastic wrap to make sure they stayed fresh.
I figured I'd share some cookies with my neighbors and by giving them cookie dough they could bake them whenever they wanted a cookie or two. I almost always give out baked baked goods so this was a little different for me. I think I'd be excited to receive cookies in any form so I'm hoping they felt the same way.
I had to try some out for myself so here are my instructions:
Bake at 375 for about 2 minutes longer than you would.
I removed these from the freezer, put them on a greased cookie sheet and let the oven preheat. When it's preheated put the cookie sheet in for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they might need a little longer to brown up.
Perfectly perfect!!
Who could you make cookie dough for today???
I'm anxious to try freezing some of my other favorite recipes.
I love having the dough on hand in case I get the urge to make just a few cookies. Saves me from eating a whole batch and they are so fresh!! Genius idea I tell you!!
