Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 batch cookie dough OR
- 1 batch baked cookies
Instructions
-
For cookie dough
-
Roll your cookie dough into balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.
-
Once the cookie dough balls firm up, you can transfer them to a reusable freezer-safe bag or container. Cookie dough will keep well for up to 3 months.

When ready to bake, simply bake the cookies as directed. You may just need a few extra minutes of baking time. You can also bring the dough to room temp and then bake them as directed; either option will work!

For baked cookies
-
Wait for the cookies to cool completely, then transfer them to a reusable freezer-safe bag or container lined with wax or parchment paper. I like to place them in a single layer to avoid any cookies breaking. Cookies will keep well for up to 2 months.

Once ready to eat, simply thaw out at room temperature and enjoy.
