cookie dough question

[ChristmasPir8]

I was watching something on TV and had a though that I wasn't sure it would work for Christmas gifts. I often bake cookie for people what about giving the uncooked cookie dough, frozen? Then instructions on baking from the freezer. So you can bake as much or as little as you would like, when you like. There is often so much baked good floating around I know some of mine ends up in the trash.

I think this is a fantastic idea and I know it's a gift I would love to receive as I never seem to have the time or skill to bake.

I'd be really interested if you had any recipes you could share and how to go about baking from the freezer - maybe it would help inspire me this year

Here are two sites I found with recipes/wrapping ideas for frozen cookie dough:

http://www.happybirdscraftinghaven.com/2009/11/frozen-cookie-dough-gift-for-christmas.html

There are lots more ideas if you google/search frozen cookie dough gift.

Thanks for the idea! I bookmarked the sites myself for future reference;o)

Piratemama - I have done this a lot, especially when taking a meal to someone who is recovering from an illness or has just had a baby. If I take a meal I usually take a log of choc chip cookie dough too. I just use the toll house recipe on the bag and roll it into parchment paper and twist the ends. It seems to go over really well.

thanks for the positive responses. I am thinking this is a way for me to look a little ahead b/c I can do some preping/freezing in advance.

Thanks for the links also I will go and bookmark them

This is a great idea! I have been freezing my cookie dough for a few years now - then baking at the last minute.

I can see the appeal of gifting the frozen dough too! For some of my friends that would probably be a better option!
