Dessert:
- Butterfinger cookies (from freezer)
- Chocolate chip cookies - see below for a time saving/frugal tip
Frugal tip - Cookies:
- I make double batches of dough (or triple sometimes).
- I make the dough like normal, and then roll the cookies into balls like I'm going to bake them.
- Then I put 12 cookie balls laid flat into a sandwich Ziploc bag and stick the bag in the freezer, laid flat.
- When I'm ready to bake more cookies, I just pull out a bag and they are ready to go on the preheated stone by the time the oven warms up!
- This helps save money by stretching a batch of cookies (and it also helps us not to overindulge with just the 3 of us =)). It is also a huge time saver!
