I’m thinking ahead here and trying to avoid the Christmas rush. Have you frozen any of the doughs of these recipes to make later? How did that work out? OR – have you premade the cookies and frozen them for later?
Barbara – I have frozen them after they have been baked and they work great. You can also freeze the cookie dough and I actually wrote an entire post on how to freeze cookie dough that include step by step instructions. I hope you try it out and let me know how it goes!
