Freezing Tips

  • Freeze the raw cookie dough: Portion the dough into scoops, place them on a tray, freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Raw cookie dough can be safely frozen for up to 3 months when stored properly.
  • Bake from frozen: Add 1–2 extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the freezer.
  • Freeze baked cookies: Fully cooled baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
  • Reheat baked frozen cookies: Warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 4 minutes to restore freshness and texture.
