That's a lot of cookies! This dough is freezable yes?

 

[msmofet]

Yes. When baking for Christmas I haul out my kitchaid once. Last time I made cookies I did like 10 different kinds. Packaged each into zip lock bags, flatened the dough and into freezer. You can break down into several bags. Or half the recipe. But will be difficult to half an egg.

Feel you on the KA. Mine is at least 30 years old and probably weighs that much! I'll mix the whole lot and portion out for bake size batches. I'll do that pretty quick here after I get some "spring has sprung" yard work out of the way.

Thank you!
