I know, this one is obvious. People put chunks of raw cookie dough in ice cream and eat it just like that. People have frozen tubes of cookie dough to make Christmas cookies for as long as I can remember (and probably longer). But I don’t think I’ve ever really done this myself.
I didn’t want a plain old cookie dough, like the kind that gets icing on it once baked at Christmas, so I decided to freeze leftover dough from a giant chocolate chip cookie I was making, from a recipe that I found online. I froze the tube, in this case only for a few weeks before I needed it for “emergency” cookies. I thawed the dough in the fridge for a while, perhaps not quite long enough since the chocolate chips and chunks were still pretty solid when I was slicing it up. The tube wasn’t completely round so the cookies were a bit oblong, but otherwise they were pretty good, a little thinner than I’ve typically been making them since the dough is really sticky when it’s at room temperature so it’s hard to mash the balls of dough flat when I’m making them fresh. I’ll definitely double my batch in the future and freeze some of the dough for later. If I’m getting out all the ingredients anyway, might as well mix double.
