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.
