There are many different types of cookies and some freeze better than others. Different types will need to be frozen in slightly different ways.
Freeze Drop Cookie Dough – The Most Popular
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies are probably the most widely made “drop cookie” but other drop cookies include recipes like Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, our Best Peanut Butter Cookies, and cake mix cookies like Frosted Lemon Cookies. If a recipe calls for rolling the cookie in sugar, wait to do that right before baking.
Freeze Slice and Bake Cookies
These include cookies such as sandies, Easy Shortbread Cookies, or these fun St. Patrick’s Day Cookies.
Freeze Cut Out Cookies
The most popular cut-out cookies would have to be Frosted Sugar Cookies, but other cookies like Gingerbread Cookies Recipe would also fall into this category. Recipe Video Recipe Video Recipe Video
