I mixed up several dif. cookie doughs a week or so ago and put in the freezer, and now all I have to do is set out a little while and bake. When I was working with the children in church we would take orders prior to Thanksgiving . and would have a bake day at church in order to raise money so we could take the kids to an outing once a month. Skating or the zoo and breakfast or lunch because at that time we did not have a budget allocated to us. To expedite the baking, we measured the ingredients and put into a zip bag with instructions and wet items to add ahead of bake day, then all we had to do was mix and bake, no measuring and making a big mess, as the older children helped with the project.
