Can You Bake Cookies From Homemade Frozen Dough, Even if the Recipe Says Not To?
I had to test this for myself.
I found an unusual recipe for chocolate chip cookies in the morning paper. I was intrigued!
This recipe is different.
Instead of white sugar or brown sugar, it uses powdered sugar
There is no baking powder or baking soda in it
You bake each cookie in a buttered muffin cup
It says to refrigerate the dough for 2 hours before slicing and baking
Yes, i read the physical newspaper everyday while eating breakfast. In english, of course.
I tested this recipe in three ways:
Bake from refrigerated, as the recipe says.
Bake from room temperature, so I didn’t have to wait.
Bake from frozen.
I am a fan of making freezer meals. With freezer meals, you nave no mess and no stress at mealtime because you’ve done the work ahead of time.
I made three logs of cookie dough: room temperature, refrigerated for 2 hours, and frozen overnight.
Next, I baked them all the same, as directed in the recipe.
The result:
The frozen cookie dough cooked just as well as the room temperature cookie dough.
There was no difference at all among the three cookies. The recipe called for refrigerating the dough for 2 hours. This cookie was also the same as the other two.
All three versions (baked from frozen, room temperature, or refrigerated as the recipe said) were equally delicious!
Make a batch of this Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cookies and pop the tubes in the freezer. If you’re hungry for a cookie or two, you only have to cut off and bake a cookie or two! That’s the benefit of freezer meals!
Here’s a pastry cutter, aka bench scraper, like the one I use in the video. It can be yours for less than $10!
