I've made a ton of NFSCs this week. Now I have two questions.
First, I have a 1/2 batch log that isn't baked. How long can I store it in the fridge and/or in the freezer?
Second, I have dozens and dozens of mini cookies baked and not frosted. I'd like to keep them for xmas day. Right now, they're in zip lock baggies, at room temp on the counter. I'm planning on icing them next fri/sat/sun. Will that be ok for them to still be fresh? If not, how should I store them? Or will I have to bake an entirely new batch and dump 'em?
BTW, I've read a lot about how bland and these cookies are. Well, these I baked are so delicious all by themselves I almost hate to put icing on them! I made them in 1/2 batches (I only have a hand mixer) but instead of 1/2ing the extracts I used the full amount, mixing vanilla & almond. You can really taste the almond. Then, because I used all shortening (milk allergic kids in school) I had to add water & added too much. So I mixed in a bit of pwd sugar to stiffen up the dough again. These are the best cookies ever!
When I rolled them out, I used two cake dowels (for thickness measures) between two flexible cutting mats. I'm too cheap to waste so much parchment 
All I had to do between rollings was wipe the mats down with a towel to get the grease & bits of stuck dough off of them. It worked out pretty well.
