Why Make This Recipe

Vanilla Freezer Cookie Dough is perfect for those who love fresh cookies but want to save time. You can prepare the dough in advance, store it in the freezer, and bake whenever you feel like having a warm, homemade cookie. It’s a great treat for unexpected guests or a late-night snack!

How to Make Vanilla Freezer Cookie Dough

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Shape the dough into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap.
Freeze until ready to bake.
To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

How to Serve Vanilla Freezer Cookie Dough

You can serve these cookies warm, right out of the oven. For an extra treat, add a scoop of ice cream on top or drizzle some chocolate sauce over the cookies. They also pair well with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.

How to Store Vanilla Freezer Cookie Dough

To store the cookie dough, keep it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. It can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Once baked cookies are cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.

Tips to Make Vanilla Freezer Cookie Dough

Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
For chewier cookies, do not overmix the dough.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
You can also add nuts or dried fruits to the dough for variation.

Variation

If you want to try something different, consider adding nuts like walnuts or pecans, or swap out the chocolate chips for other mix-ins such as butterscotch chips or dried cranberries.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture might be slightly different and denser.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Can I freeze the baked cookies?
Absolutely! Once they are completely cooled, you can freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Just thaw and enjoy whenever you want!
