How long it takes to thaw depends on if I put the dough in the fridge the night before or set it on the counter. If the latter, I can usually work with the batter after an hour or two.

(D'oh) That would solve the problem of too many cookies at once, or the annoyance of making two smaller batches a week apart. I give a lot of cookies at Christmas as gifts for teachers, school bus drivers and neighbours. I've always started baking in November and frozen the cookies, but I never thought about freezing the dough. Do you freeze the dough in wax paper or in plastic containers? How long does it take to thaw? Rae's fave are ginger molasses cookies, while Leah likes chocolate chip, but only if I use the milk chocolate chips. Both girls like peanut butter cookies, but they can't go into school lunches, so they don't get made as often.
