Refrigerated cookie dough tips

The best part? You can freeze pretty much any type of cookie dough! Here are some tips to get you started: 

1. Pick a baking sheet that fits in your freezer. 

If your trays are too big, you can use two smaller ones or one medium-sized tray instead. 

2. Make your dough according to the recipe.  

Use the same cookie scoop you’d use if you were baking them right away. If the recipe says to shape or flatten the dough, do that before freezing. 

3. Freeze dough balls on a baking tray for at least 2 hours.  

This step ensures that they freeze all the way through and don’t stick together when you store them. 

4. Move them to an airtight container.   

Once the dough balls are fully frozen, transfer them to a sealed container.
