I have made several types of cookie dough already and frozen it. We have a new freezer with a quick freeze function that freezes the dough in just over 20 minutes, it is fabulous! I am going to have to try other holiday treats now too. I have been making a couple of batches of dough a week to freeze, while the kids are napping. I think next week, absolutely the scones and cheese twists so that I also have breakfast and snack choices readily available. For Thanksgiving I made the butter buns, and they were a HUGE hit, as was the cranberry cake made from the torte recipe. I used almond extract in the dough, and it was sublime. I also shared the Thanksgiving muffins, and my grandparents asked for another dozen. Today my kids asked to make cookies, so we made the sparkling cranberry gems, and they are wonderful. How would you go about freezing those?
Lish, sounds like you've been baking up a storm! The Cranberry Gems would freeze nicely on the sheet, just like the chocolate chip cookies - no different. Just shape, freeze, bag. PJH
