WFMW: Freezer Tip

on the cookie dough - I use wax paper (taken from inside cereal boxes) and make a "roll" of cookie dough and freeze that. it takes less room than a cookie sheet in the freezer. When it is frozen I take my chef's knife and cut "cookies" and then bag those.

too bad I never actually BAKE those frozen cookies.... (I LOVE LOVE LOVE cookie dough, and frozen bite-size cookie dough just never lasts long enough to bake.....)

If you don't have room in your freezer for a cookie sheet, what I do is use wax paper in between each pancake/french toast/ waffle and this works well.

I love to make pancakes en masse and freezing them is a great idea!

That's called 'flash freezing,' btw! I need to get some breakfast foods made for the freezer, too. French Toast does freeze beautifully, btw! Also, you can make your own breakfast biscuit sandwiches. Just layer some cooked bacon, egg (scrambled is probably easiest) and a slice of cheese on a biscuit and wrap it up tight. I tried this recently and both of my younger boys loved them! Oh, by the way, I'm "Mom2fur" and my blog is sortafrugal.blogspot.com.

Ok, I'm sorry, help me. My mommy brain is not grasping this. After you freeze them on the cookie sheet you can put them all in one ziplock and they won't stick? Is that what you are saying?

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying! Its so easy!
Our freezer has a "quick freeze" button so when I put them in on the cookie sheet I hit that button and come back about an hour later and pop them off the trays and put them in large baggies.
There are other great tips here in the comments too if you don't have enough room in your freezer for cookie sheets.
I plan on doing this with pumpkin waffles real soon!
