Make-Ahead Holiday Heroes

Beat the holiday rush. Make cookie dough ahead and freeze it for later, so when the festivities begin, you’re ready to bake, decorate and share. �rop Coo�ies Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze, then place frozen balls into a zip-top bag and store in the freezer. �olled Coo�ies Divide dough in half (or however your recipe directs), then form into discs and wrap securely in plastic before freezing. To use: thaw, then roll, cut and bake as usual. �lice-and-Ba�e Coo�ies Shape into logs, wrap in plastic, and freeze. When ready to bake, let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then slice and bake, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time. #ProTip: Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes.
