I've been doing it all wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1666454 Thu, 29 May 2014 17:50:33 +0000 shellio 1666454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: As a PP mentioned, I would bake the cookies and then put them in the freezer. The dough would still be good but baking a little at a time sounds like a lot of work. When I had a newborn and toddler at home (don't know how old yours is!) I did not have time to bake cookies - I had a huge bag of lactation cookies that was hidden in a drawer (hidden from my toddler!) and would snack on 1-2 a few times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1666388 Thu, 29 May 2014 17:12:33 +0000 littleveesmommy 1666388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about freezing the dough but I wanted to thank you for the cookie recipe! I'm due at the end of the month as well and will make a few batches to freeze. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1666382 Thu, 29 May 2014 17:06:09 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1666382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @septca said -- you should keep flax seed meal in the fridge/freezer anyways. I also keep yeast in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1666380 Thu, 29 May 2014 17:03:45 +0000 septca 1666380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: it goes rancid really fast, so you should always store it cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665463 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:55:55 +0000 coopsmama 1665463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a great idea! I will be doing this, too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665362 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:21:50 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1665362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I froze it. I then ended up just eating the dough. Mmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665306 Thu, 29 May 2014 11:03:36 +0000 heartonastring 1665306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I baked the cookies and then froze them. They still seemed to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665263 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:51:52 +0000 keiki_mama 1665263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I didn't know you were supposed to store flax seed in the freezer. Good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665250 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:49:17 +0000 CakeLady 1665250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. I baked some and froze them and also portioned out a bunch of raw dough that I could bake as needed. I am due in a few days so I can't say if if worked for sure, but since I store lots of baking ingredients in the freezer to preserve their freshness, I can't see how it could hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665247 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:48:37 +0000 septca 1665247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. No problem.</p> <p>You should actually keep your flax seed in the freezer anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665243 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:45:54 +0000 littlebug 1665243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister froze the dough, and then would bake a few cookies at a time, rather than the whole batch. Or she'd just eat the dough raw (she made one without eggs). It still worked for her. Any day she would eat a few cookies, her milk supply went up at least 50% (usually more, if I remember correctly) shortly thereafter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freeze-lactation-cookie-dough#post-1665229 Thu, 29 May 2014 10:41:54 +0000 keiki_mama 1665229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Bees! I'm due at the end of the month and I'm thinking about making a couple of batches of lactation cookie dough to throw in the freezer so I can pop it in the oven after the baby arrives. I'm just wondering if freezing flax seed or brewer's yeast will destroy their properties? This is the recipe I used last time and it seemed to work! </p> <p><a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-lactation-cookies-by-noel-trujillo-192346" rel="nofollow">http://www.food.com/recipe/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-lactation-cookies-by-noel-trujillo-192346</a></p> <p>What do you say? Freeze the cookie dough or no?</p> <p>EDIT: I didn't freeze this particular dough recipe when DS still nursed. </p>
