What are your tips for making-ahead and freezing cookies and candies for gifts?

I know you can make chocolate chip cookie dough, drop onto an aluminum-foil-lined sheet pan, freeze, then drop the cookies into a freezer bag to be stored for up to 3 months then baked straight from the freezer... any other AWESOME ideas?

Take a scoop (like the lunch ladies used in the school cafaterias) and scoop your cookie dough out. Your cookies will be more even in size and the baking time will be more even. They can be found at any restaurant supply shop or kitchen store and are commonly referred to as "dishers".

Place your cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet (better than aluminum because no chance for alzheimers and less issues w/sticking). Then once they are frozen, bag them in ziplocks of groups of 6 or 12 and then in a larger freezer bag. They should then last up to 6 months if your freezer isn't packed and defrosting all the time.

The inside of truffles (ganache) can be made and scooped and frozen the same way. When you are ready to use them, pull them out of the freezer, give them a bit of thaw time (not too much), and coat them with chocolate, nuts, cocoa, or whatever.
