These Freezer-Ready Cookie Dough Trays Make It So Easy To Bake On A Whim

Enjoying a warm, homemade cookie is one of life’s simplest pleasures. However, you don’t always have the time to pull out the mixer and make a batch of cookie dough, nor do you always have the desire to bake a full batch all at once. Sometimes, you just wish that you could bake one ooey, gooey cookie from your favorite recipe, and now you can. From the makers of the virally popular Souper Cubes, which allow you to freeze single portions of soup, meet the The Cookie Tray. 

These freezer-friendly trays are designed to help you mold and freeze cookie dough in perfectly sized and shaped balls. This allows you to easily freeze single portions and bake as many fresh cookies as you want later on, whether that’s a whole batch or just one for yourself. Moreover, you can save precious freezer space by using these trays instead of a large sheet pan to freeze your cookie dough. 

As any Southern host knows, it’s always good to be equipped in the case of unforeseen events, such as a friend showing up in need of comfort, an unexpected house guest stopping by, or just any situation when a warm cookie is needed. Which, as it happens, might occur more often than you think once you have perfectly portioned frozen cookie dough on hand at all times. Basically, these trays should come with, “Warning: Prepare to be tempted by easily accessible treats.”

Included in the set are two cookie trays and two lids, which fit 20 total discs. While you can freeze cookie dough in the trays with the lids attached, you can also remove the cookie dough once frozen and place them in a freezer-safe Ziploc baggie. The trays are reinforced with a steel rim, made with food-safe silicone, able to go in the dishwasher, and even oven-safe up to 415 degrees. It’s important to note that, just like when freezing any other sort of cookie dough balls, it’s best to use a recipe for a drop cookie rather than a shortbread. 

Much like the brand’s best-selling Souper Cubes, these freezer trays are versatile and can be used beyond cookie dough. You can prep liquid smoothie ingredients in advance, freeze peanut butter for your furry friend, or even create fruit-filled ice. However, odds are you’ll be too preoccupied with the many delicious cookie recipes out there. Try our Classic Cookies Just Like Your Grandmother Used To Make to get plenty of inspiration.
