Hi there! Any reason why cookie dough balls may not freeze fully solid? After freezing the balls for about an hour, they were firm enough to put in a ziplock for longer storage. Today (24 hrs later), I took a few out to bake. Strangely, they were not completely solid. I was able to quickly mold them/roll them back into a ball shape. I often freeze cookie dough balls, but I’ve never had this issue. My freezer temp and other food in the freezer seem fine. This cookie dough was oil-based, not butter-based. Could that be the issue? I’ve frozen other oil-based doughs, but I don’t ever remember a big difference. Any ideas? Thanks! Erin
