  1. This is very helpful information not just on the idea of freezing dough but that you can bake from frozen. I can’t be eating a whole batch alone and frozen baked cookies get beat up in the freezer. I didn’t try baking portioned dough because I thought I had to thaw. Thank you!

  4. I always make extra cookie dough so I can do this. Plus it's cool to pop a few in the oven if you have visitors etc. But what I do is dump all the dough into a gallon freezer bag, flatten it out with a roller (usually ends up around half an inch thick), then put it in the refrigerator until it firms up. Then I stick a knife in the bag and slice the sides open so I can lift the bag off like a lid, then cut the dough into uniform squares, then slide them all in a new freezer bag. Since they were formed in a freezer bag they fit perfectly and take up very little space in the freezer – you can stack anything on top of it, like more cookie dough lol

  6. I just started doing this same thing with buttermilk biscuits. I used the Ultimate Buttermilk Biscuit recipe from ATK, froze the uncooked dough squares, then put them in a freezer bag. You pretty much have on demand biscuits. Pop 1-2 biscuits into the toaster oven at 400F until golden brown. Did this last night and they were delicious.

  8. I'm sorry but you totally missed it. That cookie dough would be gone in one night. The only way you're going to keep cookie dough around long enough to have it ready when guests drop by and not have it eaten by your family in the first day is to either not have a family, or find that not so sweet spot that the cookie dough is bad enough your family won't eat it, but isn't so bad that your guest's politeness overcomes their urge to throw up.

  10. I live alone, I do THIS with everything. It's good when you marinade meat, bag both, freeze the meat & marinade, & when you take it out to defrost, & the liquid helps defrost by transferring cold away & warmth into meat.

  19. I'm not sure how to trust someone with a freezer that is COMPLETELY empty and immaculately clean! Do they even eat???
    (For people like the below replier… THIS IS A JOKE! Obviously they are using a clean and empty freezer for the video. DUH!)

  20. We find it pretty easy to bake all the cookies and then use vacuum bags to freeze them. It's pretty easy to grab a bag of 4 or 6, let them sit for 5 minutes, and then eat. Or pop them in the microwave if you want a warm one.

    Works great for oatmeal raisin and sugar cookies also.
