Bakers!!! Another quick question

ronnie day

So, if I make a batch of cookie dough, can I put it in the fridge tonight to bake it tomorrow?  Or is it one of those things that you have to bake right after it's made?

i've done that. just make sure it's airtight or it will dry out on you (done that too).

you can freeze it too.

just make sure you refrigerate it.  I would bake it within 2 days though because of the eggs...also depending on the type of cookie you may need to let the dough warm up a little to be able to spoon it or what ever you are doing.  oh, and if it's cold it won't spread as much when you bake it.

Cool.  It's just some sugar cookie dough that I want to make but don't know if I will have the energy to bake once I am done, since I am currently working on chocolate covered pretzels....

and yes I know it's like almost 10 pm here.  I am kinda like a crazy person with baking this year.  It's my first time EVER in my life really baking and I am having so much fun doing it.  

You should see all the goodies I have been making.  Maybe when I am all done, I will post pics of everything.

This is the best glaze for sugar cookies. It gets hard-ish and is yummy. You have to play with the proportions so it is thick enough. I think I use a little more powdered sugar than it calls for. Its also super easy to dye--you don't have to use much dye at all!

Oh that is perfect!!!  I am going to use my cookie press to shape them, and then I was just going to put sugar sprinkles on them, but this glaze will be PERFECT!  thanks so much!!
