How to Save Cookie Dough and Freeze for Later Use

You can mix all the required ingredients for cookie dough and freeze it for later use (even for single servings) Place cookie dough in drop size pieces on parchment paper cut into 9 x 13 sheets. Place inside of a freeze-proof container. Remove the desired amount of cookies and thaw. Cookie per directions for recipe. This is great for cookie dough purchased from school fundraisers or for single parent or small families. I think Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal Raisen cookies freeze the best and are easy to mix together.

Difficulty: Easy
