I usually halve cookie recipes as I don’t want two or three dozen cookies lying around to A, be consumed at will and B, go stale and end up being tossed. That is, until now.
Last week I stumbled upon The Pastry Affair’s brilliant suggestion to freeze cookie dough. Simply make an entire batch of cookies, roll them into balls, freeze them on a plate for about an hour (or more, no worries if you forget about them), and then secure them in a freezer bag with the type of cookie and baking instructions written on the outside.
Next time you’re jonesin’ for a cookie and don’t have the time or desire to whip up an entire batch? Problem solved. Simply pop a few of your own pre-made cookies on a cookie sheet and voilá. Talk about game changer. Mid-week cookies just became a breeze.
Nice! I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before! Also, let me know how it goes when you bake the frozen ones. I wonder if them being frozen will effect the way that they cook.
