I used to work on a cattle ranch in Wyoming, and the ranch wife used to make refrigerator cookie rolls, wrap them in waxed paper and then alumninum foil, and freeze them. When she needed cookies for us hands, she would slice off as many cookies as she needed and then bake them. Refrigerator cookie doughs are so handy and can be made in many flavors. I make a chocolate chip cherry dough that is great for Christmas or any time a fix is needed. The dough can also be packed in a small loaf pan, frozen and then wrapped. I just made 3-layer cookies this way -- pistachio, cherry, and chocolate layers.
