Freezing Cookies?

I freeze all of my cookies and brownies in ziploc bags.. . My freezer is almost full. I have a lot events coming up.. I defrost what I need the night before..

Freeze them they wont take long to defrost (like less than an hour) I do it with my cookies even after they are iced (using the powder sugar and milk icing ) I just wait till they are cool then put them in zip lock bags. Another hint for cookies if they start to get hard place a piece of bread in with them it will soften them up the bread will get very stale so it should be changed every day

We usually have more than one Christmas event so I freeze cut out sugar cookies every year and frost and decorate them as I thaw them. I stack them in layers with parchment paper in between in big freezer safe storage containers. They taste fine!

Are you freezing dough or baked cookies? I've frozen dough before (chocolate chip cookies) and just measure them out, freeze them and put them in a ziploc bag and bake later. I also freeze my Christmas cookies once baked and put them in a ziploc bag.

I prefer to freeze the dough instead of the cookie, but sugar cookies with cutout shapes obviously can't be done that way!

Here's some great how to advice here:

1 week should be fine. just keep them covered/sealed up until ready to deliver/serve.

You should be able to frost and decorate them this weekend too (if you want) as long as your frosting hardens (I do meringue powder (alternative to egg whites so you don't have to refrigerate) and powdered sugar).

There are some cookie dough mixes that are designed to be frozen so you can cut them easily, while there are other "spoon" batters that you either spoon or pour.

I'm not the biggest chef and it's been a while since I baked cookies but if the batter calls for refrigeration or if you can roll the dough and it's firm enough to be cut then you can freeze it, but if it's gooey then maybe not.
