How to Freeze Cookie Dough

Step 1

Make the cookie dough as the recipe instructs. Freezing works best with drop cookies (i.e. chocolate chip, peanut butter, etc.). Cut-out cookies actually freeze well after they’re baked!

Step 2

Roll the cookie dough into even balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet that fits in your freezer.

Step 3

Freeze the balls for 1 hour, or until solid. This prevents the balls from sticking to each other.

Step 4

Remove the balls to a ziptop bag. Be sure to label with the date, recipe name, baking temperature, and baking time.

Step 5

Freeze for up to 6 weeks. You can get away with freezing for longer but the quality may start to lessen.
