I made thumbprint dough and peanut butter truffles. The thumbprint dough I made up to the thumbprint stage, put the individual cookies on a pyrex dish (the directions said a cookie sheet, but who can fit a cookie sheet in their freezer? not me), froze them, and then put them in a ziplock bag.
The truffles I made into balls and put the balls on a pyrex dish and froze them that way. I have to go back and dip them in their coating and re-freeze them, and then I can bag them up.
The rest of the stuff I'm making is all slice-and bake cookies, so I can just roll the dough into a cylinder and wrap it in foil.
BTW, the truffles are super easy - a 7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff, a cup of peanut butter, and a cup of some ratio of powdered sugar to powdered milk. (The recipe says a whole cup of powdered sugar, but that would be crazy sweet.) You microwave the fluff and peanut butter for 30 seconds, stir it together, and add 2 tablespoons of Karo syrup and the powdered stuff. Then you add 3/4 cup of salted chopped nuts. Make it into balls and coat them with melted chocolate chips, vanilla candy wafers, or whatever. Yummo!
