Hamdi Saidani This soft, chewy Pioneer Woman Freezer Cookie Dough is made with butter and chocolate chips and ready in 1 hour and 15 minutes. The smell of baking cookies filling your kitchen from a frozen dough ball is truly unbeatable. I always keep a stash of these in my freezer for sudden cravings.
The Secret To Getting It Right
I used to just throw dough into a bag and hope for the best. That mistake quickly resulted in one giant frozen block.
The real trick is flash-freezing the individual scoops on a baking sheet first. Now I can pull out exactly two cookies whenever I want them.
Pioneer Woman Freezer Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
How To Make Pioneer Woman Freezer Cookie Dough
- Cream the Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, mixing just until the dough comes together.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough using a rubber spatula.
- Scoop and Freeze: Scoop the dough into balls and place them close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
Recipe Tips
- Do not overmix: Mixing the flour too much will create tough cookies instead of tender ones.
- Label the bag: Always write the date and baking instructions on the freezer bag so you do not forget.
- Bake from frozen: There is no need to thaw the dough; simply add one or two extra minutes to your usual baking time.
What To Serve With Freezer Cookie Dough
Serve these freshly baked cookies with a tall glass of cold milk or a hot cup of black coffee. They also make a fantastic base for homemade ice cream sandwiches.
How To Store
Keep the frozen dough balls in an airtight, freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months. If you decide to bake them immediately, store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
FAQs
