Make sure your cookie dough is well-wrapped and properly labeled before freezing to prevent cross-contamination or confusion.

1

Shape and Chill the Dough

Once your cookie dough is prepared, shape it into individual balls or scoops using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put the baking sheet in the freezer and chill the dough for about 1 hour or until firm.

2

Wrap the Dough

Once the dough is firm, remove it from the freezer. Individually wrap each dough ball tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe container. If using plastic wrap, make sure it is tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.

3

Label and Store

Label each wrapped dough ball with the name of the cookie dough and the date of freezing. This will help you easily identify the dough later. Place the wrapped dough balls in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Squeeze out any excess air before sealing. Store the cookie dough in the freezer for up to three months.

4

Thaw and Bake

When you're ready to bake some fresh cookies, remove the desired number of dough balls from the freezer. Let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, preheat your oven and bake the dough balls according to the original cookie recipe, adding a few extra minutes to account for the chilled dough. Enjoy your homemade cookies!
