FREEZING COOKIES
Cookies stored in
cookie jars or sealed containers generally keep
well for several weeks in a cool room. For
longer storage, just about any baked cookie can
be frozen (a meringue-type cookie is one of the
few exceptions.
To freeze cookies, cool
them completely. Package each variety by
itself in airtight moistureproof wrap, freezer
containers or plastic bags.
Unfrosted cookies can
be frozen up to 12 months. Frosted cookies
can be frozen one to two months. Freeze
frosted cookies uncovered on a cookie sheet to
set the frosting, then place them between layers
of waxed paper in a rigid container. Wrap
the container in a freezerproof outer wrap.
Thaw soft cookies at
room temperature in their containers. Thaw
crisp cookies out of the container.
