[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cookies freeze really well and so does most cookie dough.

For cookies:

If the cookies are still warm at all, or even if you’re not completely sure, freeze them first flat and uncovered on a cookie sheet or a cutting board lined in parchment paper. Just for 30 min or an hour. If you forget them for a few hours that’s fine. This is a really good step to do if it’s the evening. Speeds it all up.

Then put them in a container (the gift container if gifting, with the ribbon and everything if you want) and wrap it well in plastic or put it in a freezer ziploc. The longer they will be frozen, the more care is required on the wrapping.

It’s very important that you let the cookies thaw STILL WRAPPED IN THE PLASTIC. If it’s a box full, put them out over night. This is so that any condensation forms outside the plastic. If you’re shipping them I would just leave the plastic on and pop the whole thing right in the box.

For dough, form the cookie balls and freeze them uncovered on a parchment lined sheet or cutting board for a couple hours. Then you can drop the frozen balls into a ziploc. Pull them out and bake them off as needed. Baking from frozen will definitely work but may affect spread and baking time a little. You could also thaw them in the fridge uncovered and separated.

DP. I don't have that much freezer space. What kind of freezer do you have? I do need a new fridge/freezer.[/quote]

I have a normal drawer freezer. Cookie time is a good prompt to clean it out. Cookies don’t take up that much space though, no? Half empty is more than enough. [/quote]
