Storing cookie dough?
I'm planning on making some chocolate chip cookies but don't want to bake the whole batch at once. Does cookie dough keep well, and for how long?

I interned in a bakery, and they always froze cookie dough in individual balls, each cookie size. When they needed them, the frozen cookies would be left out for a half an hour, then flattened into cookies, and baked. Hope this is helpful!

Great suggestion! I think that's what I'll do.

I work at a bakery (in savory dept.) but they indeed freeze the pre-scooped goodies before they cook them. Usually only overnight though.

If you wrap the frozen cookies well in plastic wrap and foil, they will stay for up to a month.

I always form the extra cookie dough into a log and freeze it after wrapping it tightly. Then I slice off pieces for just a few cookies that I want to bake at a time. It works great!!!! This way I'm not tempting myself to overeat the delicious homemade cookies.
