If you are thinking of making your own dough and freezing it, homemade dough will not generally last as long as commercially made dough. Red Star's website suggests that people can have success with freezing dough up to 2 weeks.
The steps they recommend are:
- do not allow the dough to rise - freeze right after kneading
- the dough should be no thicker than 1"
- start freezing it on a sheet pan
- when it gets a hard shell, transfer to a zipper freezer bag, seal tight and return to freezer
- To thaw, remove from bag and put in refrigerator overnight.

How to Make Softer Cookie Dough For a Cookie Press?
A baking tool to make formed cookies is called a cookie press. The cookie press can either be manual or electric. It consists of a tube to place the cookie dough, a stencil at one end to shape the cookies to give them uniformity and a plunger to press the cookie dough through the stencil of the press. In order to have the cookie press working suitably, the cookie dough needs to be at the correct consistency. Here are some tips for creating cookie dough with the perfect consistency. 1. Allow the cookie dough to reach room temperature before using in the cookie press. Several cookie recipes that call for the use of a press will have you refrigerate the cookie dough before using it. If you refrigerate the cookie dough too long, you may end up with dough that is too hard to manipulate and work with the press properly. 2. If the dough is too sticky and soft after taking it out of the fridge, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until the cookie dough is firm and workable. 3. If the cookie dough is too stiff after it has come to room temperature, add a tablespoon of milk or butter until the cookie dough is softer. Remember to not add too much butter, as this may cause the cookies to spread when baking. 4. Load the room temperature cookie dough into the press, and place in the fridge for ten minutes, which will allow the cookie dough to set up. 5. Never grease the baking sheets when you use a cookie press. The cookie dough will need to stick to the sheet. Remember to use recipes that are designed for the press. Do not add chips or sprinkles to the dough, as it can cause the press to jam.
