Munchie Monday: Frozen to Cooked

 Our daughter is quite a cook.  She is also quite good at experimenting with recipes.  

One recipe she experimented with happened when she made too much chocolate chip cookie dough to bake all at once.  She, being smarter than average, formed the dough into balls, froze the balls on cookie sheets in the freezer, moved the frozen balls to plastic bags, put them back in the freezer, then hauled out a few balls to cook some cookies as needed.  Smart!

We have done the same thing.

To make a few cookies, pull out a lined baking sheet and place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the pan.  Put the pan in a COLD OVEN then turn on the heat to 350 degrees F.  Set your timer for 10 minutes.  It will take longer than that but start checking about then. There is no point burning cookies you have waited weeks for.  In our oven it take 13 or 14 minutes until they are cooked the way we like them.

Telling this story makes me think I had better check to see if we have any in the freezer at the moment.  Dear One was just scoping out the kitchen looking for something to munch on.  I don't suppose he would love a few sticks of celery...
