Can I freeze cookie dough?
Baking Questions
Yes, freezing cookie dough is an excellent technique. Follow these steps:
- Form dough balls to your desired size
- Place them on a tray and freeze them individually
- Once firm, transfer them to an airtight bag
Frozen dough lasts up to 3 months. To bake, you can go directly from the freezer adding 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time. This also helps cookies spread less and stay thicker.
