    Slice-and-Bake Cookie Recipes

    These slice-and-bake cookie recipes can be made ahead. Store the dough as logs, wrapped tight in plastic wrap, then defrost overnight in the fridge when you need cookies fast. You can make fun fruitcake cookies for Christmas, always-popular chocolate pinwheel cookies, slice-and-bake gingerbread cookies or chocolate sablés any time of the year.
