The teens are off today for their World View class and needed a treat to bring. I came across the BEST oatmeal raisin cookie recipe! They are chewy and buttery and I just happened to have a giant supply of free raisins from a few months back that I needed to use up.
I made a double batch and just cooked up a few dozen to take. But I had so much leftover that I decided to freeze the dough. I formed them into balls, froze them on a cookie sheet and when they were hardened, transferred them to a freezer bag.
Next time when the kids are wanting a snack all I have to do is pull them out of the freezer, put them on a cookie sheet and cook them for a few extra minutes to thaw and then finish baking. That will save me so much time when we have our next cookie craving.
Here's the recipe if you're interested:

I do this too. It really does save so much time. Also, since it's just me and my husband, we don't end up with a giant plate of cookies we can't finish.
That is AWESOME!! I am definetly going to try this with my cookie dough. It is well worth the double batch to have fresh cookies whenenver you want.
We did this for our oamc day a couple of months ago and it worked great! I'd eat the whole batch of cookies if I didn't freeze them :)
Great idea! Smaller is better. I will never lump freeze our cookie dough again!
Hi Gayle,
Wow those were the BEST oatmeal cookies. Thank you I ate three. I tried to eat only one, no way. YUM!!!
Also I went by our favorite store after it closed. There were a few boses out side that I checked out. My treasures that I came home with were candles, pineapple,crushed and sliced, cranberry juice, noodles, rice, V8 juice, and jelly. If I purchased these in the store I think I would spend $38.00 on all of it. I was so thrilled, that if you saw me you would of thought I found a pot of gold. Yee-Haw!!! thank you for cookies and the tips. Berdie
Love doing this! :D I have even given away a batch of cookies made and then frozen dough for them to make later. :D
I love doing this also.... and my guys eat them right out of the freezer too. This is really nice in the heat of the summer when the last thing I want to do is turn the oven on.
I do this too and works great...IF...no one finds the dough and eats it!!! I just did this the other day.
