How to Freeze Cookie Dough

Freezing cookie dough is a great idea if you have excess cookie dough or if you want to stash some cookie dough away so you can have a warm cookie at any moment. Here is the ONLY way I freeze cookie dough. 
Prep Time10 minutes

Materials

  • 1 batch cookie dough
  • cookie sheet
  • parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • gallon sized zip top bag
  • permanent marker

Instructions

  • Shape the dough into balls or drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour, or until the dough balls are firm.
  • Transfer the frozen dough balls to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag.
  • Label the container or bag with the type of cookie and the date.Freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
