Can you Freeze Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Yes of course you can! You can freeze the dough and the regular baked cookies. In this post I am going to teach you how to freeze chocolate chip cookies.

Freeze Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

If you are freezing chocolate chip cookie dough first you need to scoop your cookie dough into an airtight container or a plastic bag. You can use a ¼ cup scoop to do so. Then you can place it in the freezer. Chocolate chip cookie dough can stay fresh in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you are freezing your dough and decide you want to bake it, give your dough about 1 hour to thaw. Then bake dough in your oven per the recipes instructions.

Already Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you are freezing the already baked chocolate chip cookies first you need to make sure your cookies are completely cooled. Once your cookies are completely cool wrap in foil or plastic wrap and place in an airtight container and put in your freezer. Your cookies can last up to 4-5 months in your freezer. When you are ready to finally eat your cookies take them out of the freezer and give them 2 hours to thaw. If you would like to speed up the process you can place the frozen cookies into your microwave for 30 seconds each.
