Can I freeze dough for a cookie cake, and can I freeze the cookie cake itself?
It drives me up the wall when I hear people mostly women (not you though) say, oh I don't want to get all buff and muscularYour husband is 100% misinformed on this subject matter with all due respect Does he know how much hard work and dedication it takes to get to that level? Well a lotMost people will never achieve that type of buffed out body (well naturally that is) without performancing enhancers along with a crazy workout routine, very clean diet of high quality protein and good carbsTaking whey protein will not magically change you into Incredible Hulk! If it did, everyone would look like Arnold in his primeAlright enough with the rant, lol.anyways, I can't speak of Jillian Michael's powder (I bet she overprices her stuff) but just make sure you get 100% whey isolate as opposed to whey concentrateIsolate has less fat, less sugar, more protein and lactose free in general.
Pro Complex100% the bestIt's not an opinionAnd don't worry, you won't get muscular, or like a body builderWomen naturally have way lower testosterone levels (as you already knew), so unless you're trying to get built like a man, it won't happenDon't worry about what hahaha saysThe side effects of protein powder are negligible-especially if you aren't allergic to anything in the protein powderAnd fyi: The two you named are the most popular only because they have star power behind itOh yeah, the only downside: cost if you can't afford it.
You can freeze either the unbaked cookie dough (I'd wrap it well in plastic wrap and then put that inside a ziplock bag) or the baked cookie cake (also double wrapped, using plastic wrap then aluminum foil or freezer paper if you don't have a large enough ziplock bag.) I think the better option is freezing the dough; most basic cookie doughs handle freezing and thawing well, but baked goods can sometimes change in texture when frozen and thawedI don't think that would likely happen with this recipe/type of cookie, but it's just my opinion that freezing the dough is the better optionJust take the dough out of the freezer a day or two before planning to bake it and let it thaw in the refrigerator, then maybe take it out of the frig an hour or so before baking so it's ready to bake (unless the dough was supposed to be chilled before baking.) Baking chilled dough may require a little adjustment to the baking timeHappy Baking! ~ Maria
