How to Freeze Cookie Dough
I always have frozen cookie dough in my freezer. Learn the best way to freeze cookie dough and how to bake frozen cookie dough straight from the freezer, for fresh cookies in a matter of minutes at any time!
Ingredients
- 1 batch of cookie dough
Instructions
- 1
Make the cookie dough as the recipe instructs. Freezing works best with drop cookies (i.e. chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, etc.). Cut-out cookies actually freeze well after they’re baked!
- 2
Roll the cookie dough into even balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet that fits flat in your freezer.
- 3
Freeze the balls for 1 hour, or until solid. This prevents the balls from sticking to each other.
- 4
Remove the balls to a ziptop bag or an airtight container. Be sure to label with the date, recipe name, baking temperature, and baking time.
- 5
Freeze for up to 6 weeks. You can get away with freezing for longer but the quality may start to lessen.
