Cookie Dough madness

Why haven't I done this every year? I made 6 different cookies doughs this week and put them in the fridge. I will do the baking this weekend. So much simpler and the kitchen will not look like a tornado hit it! I have cookies trays all set out and will assemble those a well all at once....

 
I started a couple of weeks ago - I make the dough then freeze it flat in ziploc bags.

Icebox cookies I make into rounds or squares. Cookie dough thaws out REALLY fast, and most often you can work with it directly from the freezer. I begin by labeling the ziplocs with each cookie name, then prop them open next to the recipe. Then I begin measuring into each the flour, sugar, baking powder/soda, salt... most cookies start with the same thing. Then I start with the first recipe and do the wet ingredients, dump in the dry stuff from the ziploc, and when it's blended I pack it flat back into the ziploc. I also rarely need to rinse the mixing bowl/beaters between each cookie recipe. Sure saves dragging everything out each time I want to make dough.
