What should I do with leftover cookie batter?



Recommended Posts

About once a month I make a meal for a family in our church (just had a baby, death in the family, etc). I luv doing it cuz I actually get to cook a whole meal (hubby is a low carber so he's no fun to cook for). So I'm making cheese tortellini, salad, garlic bread, and choc chip Cookies. I bought the tub of Nestle Tollhouse batter cuz I'm much too lazy to make it from scratch!

I just made 2 dozen and have about half the batter left. Should I make the rest and send them lotso Cookies, try and freeze the rest (not sure you can freeze cookie dough) or what? I've already eaten 2 spoonfuls (they went and stayed down fine :( ) so I really don't want access to it. Or should I just toss it (hate wasting food)

What would YOU do?

make the rest of the batch and either send the with the rest or make your neighbors really happy!

Get it out of the house. You know how easy it will be for it to vanish one spoonful at a time. :wacko:

I would say bake up the rest and take them in to church with you. That gets it out of your house, you don't feel like you have wasted money and your fellow parishioners will certainly love the little treat.

I'd throw it away. Or put it in the freezer for a later date. I do know that my head would be nagging me to make that batter and eat those Cookies. That's a fight I would never win. So I just don't buy it or I throw it away. :P

Send to me as is. I always loved cookie dough way more than actual Cookies.

Amen to that brother!

And when you eat the dough it doesn't count the same as eating 1, 2 or 3 Cookies because that dough you shoved in your mouth? You say to yourself "no way could of been one whole cookie" :P

THROW IT AWAY!!! :D

Is this a trick question???? :huh:

As far as "tossing" it..............

Let's just keep calm here and be cool. Deep breath.......don't want to do anything too hasty.

Cookies...to this day...are my downfall.

I say bake 'em and take 'em to church. Someone will surely eat them...and it won't be you!

And I have a really SKINNY next door neighbor. I think she's actually anorexic!

I actually made the rest and the family I'm making the meal for will have lots of Cookies - 5 dozen to be exact! Fit into 2 gallon ziplocs! Now to get them to last until 6 pm when I deliver them :)

Make it and take it...anywhere else but your frig! Wayyyyyy too tempting! Don't put yourself through the stress of having the Cookies call out to you in the middle of the night only to find yourself sitting at your kitchen counter with a milk mustache and an empty plate filled with cookies crumbs!!! ;-)

Throw it away and throw it away now....

And mix something nasty into it like cat litter so you don't go digging for it.

Do NOT collect $200, go directly to the trash can!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
