Don’t you hate it when you have to wait for your cookie dough to chill before baking your cookies? Sure, this makes cookies taste better, but is it really worth all the wait? Well, yeah, it is. But if you are frustrated by the wait, you will be happy to hear that you can chill cookie dough faster and end up with the same results. Simply use one of these simple hacks.
Place the Cookie Dough in the Freezer
A freezer is your best friend when it comes to chilling cookie dough fast. You can opt for one of the two methods, and both will do the trick.
The first method is to make cookie scoops and place them on a baking tray. Then simply pop the tray into the freezer and leave them there for 15 minutes to half an hour.
You can also simply cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and pop it into the freezer without scooping. Note that you should leave the dough in the freezer for a bit longer in this case.
Use Ice Water Bath
If you don’t want to risk it with the freezer, then you can use the ice water bath hack. Transfer the cookie dough to a Ziploc bag or some other kind of reusable plastic bag and flatten it out. Then submerge it into an ice water bath for 20 minutes. Your cookie dough will reach the perfect temperature to give you the tastiest cookies.
