How long do you think baked cookies will keep in the freezer (if they are kept airtight)? Also, I'm going to be making cookies on a stick... not sure if that changes anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026102 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:01:56 +0000 buttermilk 2026102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others. I'm a pastry chef and wouldn't freeze them after you frost them but before is fine. For my bakery I make the cookie dough, pre- scoop it and freeze the balls. Then just bake straight from the freezer, no need to thaw just add a min or two to the baking time. Then you have fresh baked cookies!! Or baking ahead of time and freezing works well too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026078 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:52:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 2026078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: yes, I'm doing rolled cookies. Thanks for the recipe! I was gonna ask for that, too :)</p> <p>@CakeLady: @LuLu Mom: @Baby Boy Mom: @MaryM: Good to know that they can be frozen w/out any problems! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026066 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:45:34 +0000 CakeLady 2026066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bake the cookies ahead, freeze and frost closer to the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026057 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:38:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 2026057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I freeze sugar cookies (unfrosted) a month before Christmas and they taste great. I put in a freezer Ziploc and then in a tight lid container to make sure of freshness, taste just as good when they come out. Freezing them frosted doesn't taste that great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026046 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:32:10 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2026046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can toss cookie dough in the freezer for quite a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026042 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:30:31 +0000 MaryM 2026042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they're frosted, I'd make them early, freeze them, then ice them close to the party </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026040 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:29:40 +0000 psw27 2026040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you doing rolled and cut sugar cookies with frosting? My friends and I make these cookies each year: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Rolled-Sugar-Cookies/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Rolled-Sugar-Cookies/</a><br /> And frost them with Royal Icing -- they are typically good for at least a week, if not longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-can-you-make-sugar-cookies#post-2026032 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:26:46 +0000 pinkcupcake 2026032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm making sugar cookies for my LO's bday party next month, and I'm trying to get as much stuff done as early as possible. When do you think is the earliest I could make and decorate sugar cookies? Has anyone made them a couple weeks in advance? </p>
