Made Too Many Cookies? Here's How to Properly Freeze Them

Once you've finished baking your cookies, let them cool off for a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack, making sure to keep them lined up in a single layer to avoid breakage. The cookies must be completely cool before placing them in the freezer.

Once you've packed your container with the desired amount of cookies, pop the lid on and make sure it's securely sealed. Now, place it in your freezer, and you're all done! Properly stored cookies can last up to two months in the freezer.

Pro tips:

• Refrain from icing them prior to freezing. While it won't change the taste, it'll change the way your cookies look. Frosting can make them stick together, and the condensation while thawing causes icing to bleed into each other and onto the cookies.
• Label your container with the type of cookie inside and the date you baked them to remind yourself of expiration dates.
