Servings: 3 dozen
Cost: 5
Equipment
- 1 small, medium or large cookie scoop
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 freezer safe plastic bag OR freezer safe container
- 1 marker
Ingredients
- 1 batch of raw cookie dough
Instructions
- Chill cookie dough for at least about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Using your cookie scoop, scoop out balls of cookie dough and place them side-by-side on a baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer and chill for about 30 minutes. This is what we like to call "flash freezing."
- After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the freezer and transfer the very chilled cookie dough balls to a freezer-safe container (plastic bag or otherwise). Label the container with the date and description of cookies.
- To bake, bake straight from the freezer and add a minute or two onto the baking time.
