Hello! I have an order for 300 sugar cookies as wedding favors for a friend at the end of the month. I have already started on the dough, and cutting out the shape and freezing them so I wont have quite as much to do when I have to start working on them... My question is, when I take the precut dough out of the freezer, can I just plop them in the oven and bake as normal, or do I have to let them thaw first? Please help! ![]()
TIA!!!

You could make a small batch and practice .... take some out of the freezer and bake 2 frozen and 2 thawed on the same cookie sheet to see how they come out.
I've made cookie balls ahead of time (choc chip, snickerdoodles .... those kind that I just use a cookie scoop for) and put them in the freezer. I've taken them from freezer to oven and the only difference I saw was they didn't spread 'quite' as much, which may be a good thing with shaped sugar cookies! ![]()
I agree with indydebi. You can also bake all the cookies now and freeze them then take them out in batches as you decorate. Just be sure the cookies are completely thawed before you begin decorating. I've done this a number of times with huge orders and it works like a charm. HTH!
I have baked the cookie dough straight from the freezer and I have had no problems. All my Easter cookies were cut out and frozen then kept in an airtight container in the freezer. When it was time to bake, I just took them out and placed them on the cookie sheets and popped them straight into the oven.
Some of my bunnies spread a little but all the other shapes were fine.
