Ingredients:
- 1 batch cookie dough OR
- 1 batch baked cookies
How to cook:
- 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.

- I like to use parchment paper to line the pan when freezing the cookies, so do that first.
- Then, roll the entire batch of cookie dough into balls just like you would if you were baking them.
- Layer them on a sheet pan in a single layer as you scoop them. Fill the baking pan or tray with all the uncooked rolled cookie dough balls.
- Then, cover it with plastic wrap.
- After layering the individual dough balls in a single layer on the parchment lined pan, stick the filled pan in the freezer for the initial freeze.
- Freeze until the cookie dough balls are hard.
- Meanwhile, take a gallon sized zip top freezer-safe bag and label it with the recipe name, date, cooking temperature and time details.
- When the cookie dough is frozen, remove the pan from the freezer.
- Store the cookie dough in an airtight container, plastic freezer bag, or in vacuum sealed bags.
- Label the bag or container with date, contents, baking instructions, and bake time.
- For cut-out cookies, like these vanilla cutout sugar cookies or these gingerbread cookies, you will follow the same instructions as above, but instead of rolling the cookie dough, you’ll pre-cut your batch of cookies.
- After you flash freeze the cookie dough on the parchment lined baking sheet, store the cookies in the same way as cookie dough balls.

Ingredients:
- 1 batch of cookie dough
How to cook:
- 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!
- Roll the cookie dough into even balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet that fits in your freezer.
- Freeze the balls for 1 hour, or until solid. This prevents the balls from sticking to each other.
- Remove the balls to a ziptop bag. Be sure to label with the date, recipe name, baking temperature, and baking time.
- Freeze for up to 6 weeks. You can get away with freezing for longer but the quality may start to lessen.
