FREEZER COOKIE DOUGH

Making freezer cookie dough is the best idea EVER!  You can whip out a plate of fresh, hot cookies to serve to your guests or family in a matter of minutes when you have these in your freezer.

Preparing freezer cookie dough balls ahead of time allows you to bake fresh, homemade cookies in minutes with no mess.

I had all of the ingredients out, so if I did this, I would really only have 1 mess. 

I love to bake cookies, and do it often, so this sounded wonderful to me.

On this day I mixed up Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodles,  Mexican Wedding, and Butterscotch Toffee Choc Chip.

I placed them on parchment lined baking sheets, and placed them in the freezer until hardened.

The bag was labeled, and I stored them in my freezer.

I was thinking how handy these will be to pull out and bake
if I have company, need something for a bake sale, or am just craving a fresh, hot, homemade cookie with my tea.

They only lasted one day and my brilliant plan came in to action. Look at these guys. That evening, my daughter called and a bad storm had left them with no power.  Her family came to my house for showers. 

I warmed up some leftovers from dinner and baked a couple pans of my cookie dough balls. 

My grand- children were happy to have a plate of cookies and some milk.

Four days later, a group of us were getting together to do
some cleaning at the men’s hunting cabin.  I knew there would be children there too, so into the oven went a few more bags of the cookie dough balls.

This week I baked the remaining ones and took them to a
family going through a tough medical crisis.

I always bake a lot of cookies during the holidays, and I will do this again for that, but the past few weeks have shown me that you can handle good times and bad times with a plate of fresh, hot, homemade cookies. 

I am going to keep doing this when I have a free day, and always be prepared with a variety of these cookie dough balls in my freezer.

  1. This is brilliant! I do it with ground beef for hamburgers. It has been so expensive lately that when it is on sale I buy 5 or 10 pounds and portion them into balls and put them 2 to a baggy. Today I took out the last 2 baggies as Amara is coming for dinner! Hope it goes on sale again soon!

    1. I do the same thing! That comes in so handy doesn’t it. Hope you had a fun dinner with Amara.
