Thank you!!! I have done the drop cookie and slice and bake dough thing but this has opened a whole new world to me. We spent some time over the weekend making a few scone recipes. One was tried n true, the others were recipes we wanted to try. They were prepared up to placing on the baking sheet. They went into the freezer instead of the oven. Labeled and dated and bagged once frozen. The other night before bed we set the oven to turn on a few minutes before we were getting up. When we woke up, a few scones went on a pan and into the preheated oven. As we dressed they baked. When it was time to sit down to breakfast we had a wonderful fresh baked treat! Now I'm thinking about rolled cookie dough. Why couldn't you roll it out onto waxed paper or plastic or parchment, then roll it around a tube from wrap, seal it in plastic then when you are ready, thaw...unroll...cut and bake? You would obviously need to re-roll trimmings but I think that might work....what are your thoughts? My only hesitation is the dough might crack when you unroll it, as freezing tends to dry things out no matter how careful you are. Since the dough is already rolled out, why not cut it into shapes on the parchment, then stack pieces of parchment in the freezer with cutout shapes? When they're frozen, peel off the parchment and bag to save space. Then just lay on a parchment-lined pan to bake, when you're ready. Try it both ways, see which you like best - PJH
