I loved peanut butter, honey and banana sandwiches as a kid and I still occasionally enjoy them as an adult. I saw these Peanut Butter Banana and Honey Cookies a while back and I knew I had to give them a try. I thought they turned out pretty good. Yes, they were yummy, and yes they tasted just like a PB&H sandwich. I think these are great to treat the kids to or just to change things up a bit.

Can Cookie Dough Be Frozen?

Cookie dough can be frozen using a couple of methods.

Form the dough into a ball and place in an airtight container or a heavy duty freezer bag.

Or, you can form dough into individual cookies and freeze on a cookie sheet.

When frozen, transfer to a heavy duty freezer bag.

This method allows you to take out the desired number of cookies and bake without thawing the whole batch.

How Long Will Cookie Dough Keep In the Freezer?

Frozen cookie dough will keep for 9-12 months in the freezer.

Can You Use Quick Oats Instead of Old Fashioned Oats in Recipes?

For baking, quick oats can be used in place of old fashioned oats.
