I have this obsession that I need to bake LOTS of cookies every December. It doesn’t matter how busy I am, I have an overwhelming desire to start baking.
I have developed some strategies over the years.
I go through all my cookie recipes and select the ones I “have” to make. I make a list of all the ingredients so I will have them on hand.
Because there are only two of us here, I don’t want to make a big batch of baked cookies. . . they would not last long (other than on our hips). Instead, I scoop out all the dough onto cookie sheets and bake only one batch. The rest I put in the freezer to get it solid. Then I put the dough balls into freezer bags for later use.
It has worked out really well for me. When I am ready to start baking (so we can GIVE away the cookies), I don’t have to mix all the dough. I can just load up my cookie sheets and go to town. (Not nearly as much dish washing!)
All that is left to do is package them up.
I’d write more, but I suddenly have this urge to go bake cookies. . . .
