Freezing cookies

Theoretically, you can pop cookies into airtight containers and freeze them for six months. In real life, we find that six weeks is a better estimate. Cookies grow stale and pick up off flavors in the freezer. Rich butter cookies stay freshest longest, and can be frozen for two to three months if they’re kept in airtight tins.

Soft, cakelike cookies; sticky bars, and many filled cookies do not freeze well. Cookies that have chocolate glazes, buttercream icings, or other potentially sticky toppings should be frozen in single layers on cookie sheets, then put into tins with waxed paper between layers.

Each of the recipes on this site includes information on whether the cookie can be frozen
