Answers:
Wrap it up in plastic and then place in a ziploc (airtight) bag!. Cookie dough will last 2-3 days in the fridge like this or 1 month in the freezer!. Freeze all dough in a heavy-weight plastic bag to prevent dough from absorbing freezer odors!. I don't even bother thawing my dough because I have found that frozen cookie dough will not flatten as easily when baked, especially a problem for chocolate chip cookies!. Instead, form the cookies before placing in the freezer bag!. But, if you choose to, defrost in refrigerator prior to baking!.

I bake cookie dough all the time and store it in the fridge because I like to eat it raw!! It should be fine in the fridge for up to a week, so if you are only storing it until Friday that is perfectly fine!. Like someone else said, make sure you store it in a tightly covered container!.

I have also frozen it and it cooks off just fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can generally freeze cookie dough and it works fine when defrosted!. But, if you're only going to have the dough sitting in the fridge for a few days, it should be fine!. Just wrap it really well so it's air tight or put it in some tupperware!. Exposure to the air will dry it out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here is a resource I came across!. I has a lot of catagories and covers a wide range of Budget Cooking topics!.

There are also some guide books there at no charge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say as long as you put the cookie dough in a bowl with a lid then it should be perfectly fine for a few days!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

when is the expiration!?
