Equipment
- Cookie scoop
- Baking Sheet
- Freezer-safe plastic bag
- Marker
Ingredients
- 1 batch Raw cookie dough
Instructions
- Chill cookie dough for at least about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Using your cookie scoop, scoop out balls of cookie dough and place them side-by-side on a baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer and chill for about 30 minutes. This is what we like to call 'flash freezing.' After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the freezer and transfer the very chilled cookie dough balls to a freezer-safe container (plastic bag or otherwise). Label the container with the date and description of cookies. To bake, bake straight from the freezer and add a minute or two onto the baking time.
Notes
- Storage: Use airtight containers or zip-top bags to keep your cookie dough fresh.
- Labeling: Include the baking temperature and time on the label for quick reference.
- Portion Sizes: Make different sizes of cookie dough balls to suit various cravings.
- Varieties: Experiment with different recipes and flavors to have a variety of cookies available.
- Baking Directly: Bake cookies straight from the freezer for a quick treat.
