  • Allow the cookies to cool completely after baking.
  • Flash freeze the cookies on baking trays placed in the freezer. Once the cookies are frozen, continue with the remaining steps listed below.
  • Place the cookies in a single layer inside an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
  • If using a bag, squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
  • Label the container or bag with the type of cookie and the date.
  • Freeze cookies as soon as possible after they have cooled to maintain their freshness.

Top Tip

Consider freezing cookie dough instead of baked cookies. This allows you to have freshly baked cookies on demand.

Tips for Making Cookies

When it comes to making cutout cookies, precise measurements are key. Make sure to accurately measure out all ingredients before beginning the recipe.

Be careful not to over or under bake them. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when they begin to turn golden brown around the edges.

Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

To store the cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the cookies for up to three months.

The most famous American cookie is likely the chocolate chip cookie. Try my 4th of July Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!
