Preparation

Step 1

Simply scoop out a small dough ball’s worth and place onto a piece of wax paper on a baking sheet. Flash freeze for 20-30 minutes, then transfer dough balls to plastic freezer baggie. You could also lay the balls flat in a plastic freezer baggie and freeze them in a “tray form.” Make sure to date and mark the bag, and to put cooking temperature on the bag as well. Freeze, up to 3 months.

To cook, pull out the ones you will cook and place them on the baking sheet and let them warm up some while the oven preheats. I’ve found that if they just get a few minutes out of the freezer to warm up to room temp, the baking time does not need to be modified from the original recipe. If you are taking them straight from the freezer to a hot oven, I’d add no more than 2 minutes of cooking time. Watch them closely as to not over bake!
