Hi MaryJane, PJ and company! Like most here, I love nutmeg and have decided to give these a go for Christmas.
However, I bake a lot of cookies, and like to do the whole "freeze-then-bake" method for as many as I can manage. In your recipe testing, did you ever try freezing the unbaked dough balls, and then baking them from frozen? How about freezing the baked cookies?
Even if the answer is no, I'm curious to hear your expert opinions on how that might work on these cookies. Thanks in advance!
I make cookie dough, drop it onto pans, then freeze - once the balls are frozen, I stow them in a bag, and only take out as many as I want to bake at a time. I find they take only a minute or so longer to bake than fresh dough; no need to thaw before baking, just plop frozen cookies onto a baking sheet and pop into the oven. Good luck - PJH
