Quick Tip: Portion Control
Sweet treats are not something that B and I want to fully cut out of our life. We enjoy them in moderation. My problem with treats is that if they are in the house we eat them and most recipes for baking are difficult to make in small batches. How would one add 1/4 of a egg? I found a good solution for cookies. I only bake a portion and then I freeze the rest. This way we have portion control and the bonus is next time I have unexpected company I can get cookies done in 15 min with just one dirty cookie sheet.
Yesterday I made Snickerdoodle cookies. The recipe made three dozen cookies of which I baked one dozen. The remaining two I prepared as the recipe directed but I placed them on a plate and froze them for one hour. Then, I transferred them into a freezer safe bag. Label the bag with the date, contents and cooking directions. Make sure to add 3-5 minutes onto the cooking time as the dough will be frozen. Next time you have a sweet tooth, company or need a quick dessert you just bake as many as you need. A quick and easy way to not have a surplus of cookies on a plate all at once.
