I have been freezing cookies for years.

Whenever the oven is on I always feel I should make full use of it, so I’ve started to open-freeze shaped cookie dough. This way, I just have to place the shaped cookie dough straight on to an oven tray and bake. It’s also very handy if you need a batch of cookies in a hurry.

To open freeze the cookie dough: Line a freezer proof tray ( I use a baking tray) with some non-stick paper, shape the cookies and place on the tray. Freeze until the dough is hard, then transfer them into a bag or container.

I’ve found by baking from them straight from the freezer, the cookies hold their shape better and spread less.
