Who doesn’t love a warm, fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie. And this gift can be open whenever the urge hits. A plate of baked cookies is always a lovely gift to receive, but during the holidays treat abound. With a tube of frozen dough all ready to slice and bake, your friend will really appreciate a sweet cookie long after the holidays are a memory.

 

Cookie dough packaging

After the cookie dough is made, divide into portions. I doubled the recipe below and split each in half giving me four dough logs.  Each log is wrapped well in plastic then covered with parchment paper. Decorate the ends with ribbon and add a tag with the baking directions. I have included a FREE printable for you to download and attach to your dough log.

 

Double gift

The logs are festive when wrapped with colorful wrapping paper but you can give a little bonus by wrapping in a holiday towel or pair of cloth napkins. I think these cookie logs are a great gift idea for a busy teacher or coworker. And, it saves you time in the kitchen because you don’t do the baking, cooling and cleaning up the baking sheets. Win-win 🙂

Twist the ends and tuck under the log. Since the dough will be frozen it is important that it is wrapped well. I suggest double wrapping or then wrapping in aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Add the baking label and it is all ready. Or, use the packaging suggestions shared above.

 

Storing the cookie dough

Store the well wrapped cookie dough logs in the freezer for up to three months.

Baking frozen cookie dough

The cookie dough will need to thaw a little so it can be sliced or scooped to measure a rounded tablespoon. I baked the cookies while the dough was still slightly frozen. Just keep an eye on the cookies and remember they will cook just a little bit more when removed from the oven.
