What a fabulous idea and how obvious. (Smacking myself in the head!) There is only my husband and myself at home these days and while I love to bake, especially cookies, it is just not a good idea to have all those cookies around. So last night I made a batch of the chewy oatmeal raisin cookies, baked 4 and put the rest in the freezer. Tonight will be snickerdoodles, followed by peanut butter and the ranger cookies. I love the thought of just pulling out a few of what you want and having warm fresh cookies at a moments notice. Thanks!
I know, Elizabeth - I'm the same way. Sometimes the obvious solution is sitting right there in the middle of the counter, and you keep looking right past it! I'm still working on the "one brownie at a time" thing. I poured batter into paper muffin cups, but I think I'd need to let them thaw before baking; baking them frozen produced raw centers and tough edges. Work in progress- feel free to experiment and report back! PJH
