Can I Freeze Cookies?
Decorated cookies can frozen for a few months to be enjoyed later! There are a few steps to take to ensure the best outcome for taste and decoration.
1. I like to individually wrap my cookies in cello bags. You can also use ziploc bags.
2. Place the wrapped cookies inside of a larger ziplock freezer bag or airtight container (like a rubbermaid container).
3. Freeze the cookies.
4. When it's time to thaw, bring the cookies out of the freezer and place on the counter. DO NOT open the outer container/larger ziplock bag for 4-5 hours (or even overnight). You want the cookies to come to room temperature slowly.
5. Once thawed, remove the cookies from the outer container. They are ready to enjoy!
**If the cookies thaw too quickly, condensation can form inside of the individual bags. This condensation can cause the icing to become discolored, smear, or pit. Cookies with this kind of condensation damage are completely edible- they're just not as pretty as before!
