Freezing Cookies
1. Cool cookies before wrapping and freezing them. This
prevents moisture from forming when a warm cookie is exposed
to the cold air in the freezer.
2. Store cookies in a cold freezer, as close to 0 degrees as
possible.
3. Wrap cookies well before freezing them. Wrap one or a pair
of cookies in plastic wrap, then seal them in a plastic
freezer bag, rigid plastic container or gift tin. Then label the
containers with the date and contents.
4. Store cookies inside the freezer rather than the door
shelves, which are warmer.
5. Leave cookies in the freezer no longer than three months.
6. Defrost cookies with their wrapping in place. The moisture
that forms during defrosting forms on the wrapper, not the
cookies.
7. After you bake and cool cookies, wrap them individually in
plastic wrap and freeze them in gift tins. Wrapping them in
plastic wrap looks attractive and keeps them fresh tasting.
When it's time to distribute them, simply remove tins from the
freezer as you need them.
