Freezing Cookie Dough

Most cookie doughs freeze extremely well and can be kept frozen for up to 4 or 6 weeks!. Use these tips for freezing:

Double-wrap dough in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and absorption of odors from your freezer
Write the type of cookie dough and the date it was frozen on the outside of the package!.
When you are ready to bake, simply let the dough defrost in the refrigerator!. This will take several hours, so plan ahead!.

The cookie doughs that freeze best are:

shortbreads
chocolate chip
peanut butter
refrigerator
sugar
brownies

(Avoid freezing cake-like cookies and cookies that have a very liquidy batter, such as madeleines and tuiles!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends what types of cookie dough you are making, e!.g refrigerator dough lends itself to being chilled or frozen first because it cuts better when you're ready for baking!. Doughs and batters that rely more on leavening agent like baking powder or soda, or yeast, to rise, lose their rising power the longer they sit between mixing and baking!. So you will lose some rise out of them!. But with certain doughs like I said like refrigerator doughs, they require chilling anyway and are going to produce an OK cookie when you freeze them first!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its always best to use all of the batter and freeze the pastry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
