How to Freeze Cookies
After baking, allow cookies to cool completely. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to freeze them. Once cookies are frozen, transfer them to a freezer safe zip top bag labeled with the date and name. Squeeze all the extra air out of the bag and store flat in the freezer. IDEA: For and easy individual grab and go idea. Before placing the frozen cookies in a zip top freezer bag, slip each one into a cheap flap over sandwich bag. By the time lunch rolls around the cookie will be defrosted. Perfect for the lunch box. The cookies will be just as chewy and delicious as the day you baked them!
