To bake frozen cookie dough, you can follow these steps:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the cookie recipe.
Thaw the Dough: Remove the frozen cookie dough from the freezer and let it thaw for a short period of time, usually about 10-15 minutes. Thawing the dough slightly will make it easier to handle and shape.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Shape the Dough: Take the partially thawed cookie dough and shape it into individual cookie balls. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for spreading during baking.
Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet with the cookie dough into the preheated oven. Follow the recipe's recommended baking time, but be aware that frozen dough may require slightly longer baking time compared to fresh dough. Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake, and adjust the baking time if needed.
Cool and Enjoy: Once the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set in the center, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
Note: It's important to consult the specific instructions on the package or recipe you are using, as baking times and temperatures may vary depending on the type of cookie dough.
