\"Decorated<\/div>\r\n

Not all cookies freeze well <\/strong><\/h2>\r\nCookies that are already decorated with frosting or coated in chocolate or powdered sugar are a no-go, as are delicate cookies like these peppermint meringues<\/a> and these chocolate almond pizzelles<\/a>. Just about anything else is a possibility! If they lose some of their character in the freezer, you can usually restore them to life with a short stint in a moderate oven (or even a dusting of powdered sugar).\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Raw<\/div>\r\n

Some doughs aren't freezer-friendly either<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nWhile thick, robust doughs like that of drop, cutout and icebox cookies freeze like a charm (this holiday cookie dough is a prime example!<\/a>), thinner batters don't hold up so well. If you're making cookies with a thin batter, it's best to go ahead and bake them off and freeze the cookies afterward.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Butter<\/div>\r\n

Freezing baked cookies is simple<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTo freeze cookies you've already baked, place the completely cooled treats in a single layer on a sheet pan or something else large and flat. Once the individual cookies are completely frozen, you can store them in a flat-bottomed airtight container with the layers separated by parchment paper or waxed paper.\r\n\r\nHere are several cookies perfectly suited for stocking in your freezer!<\/a>\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"32014\"]\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Sweet<\/div>\r\n

Cookie dough is even easier to freeze<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nDepending on the type of dough, it can be frozen in a variety of ways. Drop cookie dough can be frozen in a solid lump or portioned out into balls. The latter makes it extremely easy to bake them off at a moment's notice. Icebox cookie dough should be rolled into a log, covered with plastic wrap or wax paper, and sealed into a zipped bag.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Christmas<\/div>\r\n

Cutout cookie dough gives you options<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nSimilarly, dough for cutout cookies can be flattened into a disc and wrapped tightly and bagged before freezing. Alternatively, you can go ahead and cut out the shapes you desire and freeze them on a baking sheet before securing them in an airtight container to bake later.\r\n\r\nGet started with this awesome cutout cookie recipe!<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Holiday<\/div>\r\n

Get way ahead of the game<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nYou can store cookies and dough in the freezer for up to six months if they're handled properly and wrapped well. That means you can start your Christmas cookie preparation very early\u2014yes, you can literally have Christmas in July!\r\n\r\nKeep the stress-free holiday train going with these cookie exchange tips!<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Assortment<\/div>\r\n

Keep things straight<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nHandy tip: Label your doughs, especially if you're dealing with several! Some look very similar but require different treatments in the oven, so you don't want to accidentally mix them up.\r\n\r\nHere are more useful freezer organization tips.<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Chocolate<\/div>\r\n

Thaw your dough correctly<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nYour best bet in thawing balls, logs, and discs of dough is to let them hang out in the fridge overnight. (Yep, more planning ahead!) If you've frozen drop cookie dough balls or pre-cut cutout cookies, simply place them on the baking sheet and let them stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or so before baking as the recipe instructs.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Baked<\/div>\r\n

Handle your frozen cookies properly too<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nTo thaw frozen cookies, take them out of the container in which they were stored and spread them out until they come to room temperature. From there, you can decorate them as needed, serve them, or, if necessary, refresh them in a 325\u00ba oven for 5 to 10 minutes.\r\n\r\n[skyword_tracking]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
