Which cookie doughs can be frozen for a few weeks and then made right before Christmas? Any hints, tips?!
Answers: Any kind will work. I take out a cookie sheet and line it with (I use either parchment paper or Reynold's Easy Release foil), you probably can use waxed paper fine. Next just drop your cookies on whatever you used to line the cookie sheet, then stick the whole thing in the freezer. Let them freeze, the take out the cookie sheet with them on it, take those dollops of frozen cookie dough, and drop them into a freezer Ziploc bag. Do more cookie dough the same way adding to the Ziploc bag, using a different Ziploc bag for each kind of cookie. I like to put the name of the cookie dough right on the Ziploc bag. By freezing them before you put them in the Ziploc, they won't stick together, and it's very easy to take out just what you want and not more. I'm in the process of doing that right now. I really recommend then before you bake them, you take out however many you want to bake and put them on a cookie sheet letting them thaw completely before you bake them. I've been doing this for some time now, and it just works ever so well. Sometimes if I don't have time right when I finish mixing the cookie dough to make the dollops, I just simply put the dough in a tightly covered container and set it in the fridge to do later. That also, works and the dough, I know, keeps a minimum of 2 weeks waiting either to be cooked or made up into dollops and frozen. At least all I have tried does. With such busy schedules we just have to find a way that works to fit everything in, and that definitely works both ways, very well.
Not sure - but I think butter and sugar cookie doughs
Try doing a web search www.cooks.com is a good site to go to, do a search for refrigerator cookies.
I have found that any drop or rolled cookie dough will freeze. I often roll it into a log and freeze it that way. Then when I pull it out I make them likeslice and bakes. I also get nice round cookies. Good Luck.
