I just did this last weekend. I wasn't sure how good baking and freezing cookies would be, so I made up all my dough ahead (11 different kinds) and froze them. So all I have to do now is bake and ice or roll in powdered sugar. I do have a question though, I have one kind that requires filling with jam and shaping like hamantashen. Should I freeze the dough in rounds or fill with jam, shape, then freeze? Anyway, I can't wait to try the bun method with the almond buns. They were awesome!
Thanks for the great post.
Jen, I think the shaped cookies would be fine frozen with their filling - there's enough sugar in the jam that it's not going to become too brittle and sharp (which might tear the dough). PJH
