Grease 2 Suvie pans or sheet pans and arrange 4 cookie dough balls in each pan.
Insert pans into your Suvie (if using Suvie sheet pans, be sure to place the pan in the bottom of each zone). Input settings, and cook now (be sure to select "Yes" when asked if cooking from frozen), for best results rotate the pan halfway through cooking.
Set Bottom Zone: Bake at 275°F for 5 minutes
Set Top Zone: Bake at 275°F for 5 minutes
Immediately remove pans from Suvie and let cookies cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a drying rack to cool to room temperature. Enjoy!
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
Baking time varies by dough size and oven, but typically ranges from 12–16 minutes at the recommended oven temperature. Check for golden edges and a set center.
Follow the package instructions for your specific dough brand, as formulations vary. Most frozen dough bakes at 350–375°F.
No. Frozen dough balls bake directly from the freezer without thawing. Thawing can cause uneven spreading and over-baking.
Use the middle oven rack for even heat circulation. Avoid the top or bottom rack, which can cause uneven browning.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and prevent over-cooking from residual heat.
