Freeze cookie dough???

I routinely freeze all types of drop cookies (oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chip, etc.) I make up a double or triple batch, deposit the cookies on a parchment lined sheet and put it in the freezer. After several hours I remove the cookies and put them in a bag. When I want fresh cookies, I just pop them in the oven and bake from the frozen state. I have to add about 5 - 7 minutes to the baking time. I don't use any special recipes or techniques.

Almost any cookie dough can be frozen into individual portions with no problems. Tollhouse cookie dough freezes just fine, as do sugar, peanut butter, oatmeal, shortbread, etc. You don't even need to let them thaw out before you bake them. You might need to add a minute or two to the baking time though depending on your preference.

Thanks a bunch,

Today I made 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies and froze them individually. It was the raw egg that gave me some concern but I guess it should be fine. How long will they keep?

Thanks SPOONS

I would say about 3 month in the freezer - six if you use a vacuum sealer like the Foodsaver. We always use them well before they even think of deteriorating. I like to pop a few in the oven while we are having dinner, especially if it is already heated. That way we can have fresh cookies. By just baking a few at a time,there isn't the temptation of having dozens of baked cookies sitting around calling your name.

Pillsbury, Spunkmeyer, Fields, etc...have been doing it for a great many years sold in forms called dough drops coming in sizes 1 ounce; 1.33 ounce;

There's a dough company called "Spunkmeyer"?

Ewwww.....no thank you....
