This may be true, but I have never needed to do it.
Mostcookie recipesinclude a range of baking times, like “8 to 10 minutes.”
I recommend removing the cookies from the oven at the earlier end of that range.
Once they have cooled (or if they are still warmwho can resist chocolate chip cookies at that stage?
), they will have a perfectly tender texture that should last for a few days.
Pack unfrosted cookies in resealable freezer bags or plastic containers with parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking.
They can be frozen for up to eight months.
Thawfrozen cookiesat room temperature.
Wrapped and sealed cookie dough can be frozen into logs or portions for up to six months.
Thaw in the refrigerator until the dough is the right consistency for shaping.
