Yes, you can freeze most cookie dough without issue. (the types you cannot freeze are the meringues family) If you have a lot of freezer space, you can shape or scoop your dough then freeze. I worked at a bakery where one shift of employees would make up sheet pans of raw cookies on parchment and place the pan in the freezer for later. So, you could have shortbread shapes waiting to bake. You can go straight from the freezer to the oven with the pans.  Just cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying and bad flavors.

 

If you don't have that much room or that many pans, you can freeze cookies you scoop, like chocolate chip or oatmeal, scooped and on a pan overnight then transfer the frozen scoops to a plastic bag. (this is also good for general home consumption, family members can just bake one cookie in the toaster over whenever they like)

 

You might want to try making these Apricot Confections. They are no-bake. You make them in a food processor, roll in powdered sugar and store in lots of sugar. they keep for about a month.
