As any home baker knows, fresh cookie dough is irresistible—but devouring an entire batch is all too easy. Here's our expert tip to savor them over time.
Freeze the dough
Cookie dough freezes beautifully. For best results, portion it before freezing: Scoop into small balls on a baking sheet and freeze solid. Transfer the frozen balls to a airtight container or freezer bag. Alternatively, use an ice cube tray for perfectly sized portions.
When a craving strikes
Bake just one or a few cookies straight from the freezer—no thawing required. Simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time for perfect results every time.
Pro tip
Freeze dough frequently? Label your portions with the date, baking time, and temperature to ensure foolproof baking.
