I have been freezing cookie dough for a couple of years but do not shape it first as I am afraid if I add things like crushed peppermint candies, or crushed heath bars they will turn to mush in the freezer. So, I defrost the dough and then add the candies, shape and bake. Is this necessary or will the candies "hold up" when frozen. How about coconut, will it be OK? I love this post and think you guys are fantastic! Thanks for all the great hints Sheryl, I think those candies AND coconut would hold up just fine. What doesn't hold up is anything really wet. Like, if you added fresh raspberries to something - they wouldn't do particularly well. Or anything creamy, e.g., cream puff filling, custard pie, etc. Other than that - go for it! And thanks for your kind comments- PJH
