Making cookies ahead of time is one of my favorite holiday hacks. So, I’ve gathered up 26 Freezable Christmas Cookie Recipes that you can make to simplify your holiday season.
When it comes to storing cookies in the freezer I recommend that you store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Also, make sure that you place them on a shelf where they won’t get crushed, as they can break when they are hard.
If you don’t want your cookies to stick together in the container, you can layer them in between sheets of parchment paper or wax paper or flash freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet before moving to a freezer bag.
