Can I freeze cookie dough?

Baking Questions

Yes, freezing cookie dough is an excellent technique. Follow these steps:

  1. Form dough balls to your desired size
  2. Place them on a tray and freeze them individually
  3. 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.
