I did that all the time until I found a cheap zester. It's a bit messier I find, but worth it to be able to make things with zest in. <BR/><BR/>I have a confession - I've never frozen cookie dough before! I always just eat the whole lot. Oops. I'm going to thaw in the fridge until it's almost done and then slice it cold. Most doughs benefit from being cold so that's my thinking. It's what I do with pastry so I figure the same thing applies to dough. We'll soon see, and I'll keep you posted. <BR/><BR/>Ah, new kitchen gadgets, anything to get them works for me. I use the "when I finish writing [insert chapter here]" or "when I've completed the first draft of.." or "when I get [insert job here]" as my excuses! It makes my writing faster too!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805093460124783509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595250102120311644.post-42929160915351044372009-02-23T12:54:00.000+00:002009-02-23T12:54:00.000+00:00Two meals out of one lemon!

I've never zested (what a fun word!) a lemon before... and I'm sure I don't have whatever tool it is you need to zest a lemon in my kitchen-- but your lemon bars look SO good that I'm going to investigate :) I keep telling my boyfriend we need to just pretend we got married so we can get new kitchen gadgets as wedding gifts!!!!<BR/><BR/>I do have a question-- when you freeze cookie dough, how to you get it ready to bake again? do you have to let it thaw completely, or do you just soften it in the fridge...?Sarah Glovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040811330420668042noreply@blogger.com
