I scoop out all the fresh cookie dough onto a cookie sheet with a special cookie scoop so that they are uniform in size. Then, put the entire cookie sheet into the freezer for an hour. You can then pop the raw dough balls into a freezer bag and take out as many as you need when you need them. It’s a lot easier than scooping frozen dough!

Jane – do you remember that there was always cookie dough in the fridge growing up. No one in our house would eat a cookie that was older than 20 minutes!

I make big batches of several different cookie doughs and freeze them in balls using little ice cream scoops. Then, I can pick from several kinds or bake PB & choc chip at the same time. This came in handy for a piano recital and an Enrichment night when I needed several dozen.

You can skip the step of freezing them on a cookie sheet- I do mine right in ziplock bags in one layer and stick the whole thing in the freezer- if they do stick they are easy to pull apart. Also, use the pampered chef scoop to get evenly shaped cookies every time!!

Though if you have a husband like mine make sure you hide the cookie dough!

great idea on freezing the dough balls! and I did forget to mention how yummy it is having dough on hand…I know, eating dough is technically a no-no. oh well. after I had cate, I made cookies just so I had the dough in the fridge. I shouldn’t be admitting that.

I have finally starting saving cookie dough and it is so nice and indulgent of myself to spread out the eating of cookies!

I agree with you…a big FALSE! I always double my cookie dough batches and instead of putting it in the fridge, I roll the cookie dough into balls and freeze them all lined up on a cookie sheet (basically filling ever little space). This way they freeze individually and don’t stick together. After they have frozen individually I put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. All I have to do is pull out 12-15 cookie balls and let them thaw on a cookie sheet while the oven pre-heats. Also, the frozen cookie dough is a sweet little indulgence in and of itself!
