Eat Some Now, Bake Some Later




You can't be a Cookie Minister without fresh baked cookies on-hand. Am I right? Problem solved.

Solution - refrigerator cookies!

These cookies can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated and baked whenever you need them.

This week, I made mini-chocolate chip refrigerator cookies. There are lots good recipes online.

Instead of reaching in the refrigerator case of the grocery store for the pre-made ones, you can make your own. Even on a weekday. After you make your cookie dough, you wrap it into rolls. My recipe makes two rolls (or logs), which I then wrap tightly in waxed paper and store in zip lock quart sized bags in the fridge. For best results, cook within 7 days.

I slice mine about an inch thick. My recipe makes an easy four dozen. So that means four separate occasions when I look like I got it all together, when in reality, I'm flying by the seat of my pants!!

Munch-munch.
