Make Your Own Ready to Bake Cookie Dough
When I was growing up, this time of year, we would make icebox cookies, cookie recipes designed to wrap the dough up in wax paper and freeze for quick later use.
Years later, I took my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, wrapped that up in wax paper and voila - after freezing, I could also quickly cut, cook and serve. Well, yes, they should be cooled but when one has a chocolate chip cookie emergency, there is very little to no rack cooling time.
I have also tested this with some other favorite cookie doughs and they all worked well, too so if you need to make dough ahead of time for cookie baking, this is a good option.
One more tip: if you just need a few cookies ready, bake in an electric toaster oven.
Another important tool for emergency cookie baking, a little toaster oven.
Keep an eye on the toaster oven the first time you bake cookies to make sure you get the right amount of time and temperature.
When finished, cookies look just like they came out of the oven.
A rare sight, chocolate chip cookies cooling on a cookie rack.
Cookies are part of our family holiday tradition so anything that makes the process easier so we can keep the tradition is a great addition!
