Storing & Freezing Sugar Cookies

November 14, 2018 Posted by Kyndall @ 6 Cakes & More Recent 70 Comments

We have a whole post on how to store and freeze sugar cookies in our Facebook group. This question is asked so much so I figured it’s a great post to have to look back on and even add to! I hope these tips and tricks help.

Freezing Unbaked Dough

When you have unbaked dough or you just need to make it ahead of time, you can absolutely freeze it! There are a few ways you can do this:

  • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and place into a large zip up bag. Freeze.
  • Cut your dough into the shapes you need, place into zip up bags between pieces of parchment paper, and freeze. One tip here is to make sure that the dough is lying flat. If you stack bigger shapes onto little shapes, it will misshapen your dough. By adding a few minutes onto your bake time you can bake from frozen! This method is a huge timesaver for me!
  • Make sure your dough isn’t with a bunch of really strong smelling foods! Cookie dough will easily absorb smells and it will make it taste very strange so be aware of that.
  • How long can I freeze this way? I’ve frozen dough for roughly 6 months and not had a single problem with it. I haven’t had a chance to go longer than that, but even having dough ready that far in advance is a huge help!

Freezing Baked Undecorated Sugar Cookies

Freezing baked undecorated cookies is pretty simple.

  • Place your cooled cookies into zip up bags between pieces of parchment paper and freeze.
  • I keep shapes and sizes together, just like when freezing unbaked dough.
  • Again, don’t place near super smelly foods!
  • To thaw: Place your bag on the counter and let it come to room temp before opening or removing the cookies. Any condensation will collect on the bag instead of the cookies.
  • You can also thaw for a few hours (2-3) in the fridge.
  • How long can I freeze this way? I’ve frozen baked undecorated sugar cookies for roughly 8 months and haven’t had a complaint. I’m still testing the max length of time, but they do handle the freezing very well.

Freezing Fully Decorated Sugar Cookies

When freezing fully decorated sugar cookies heat sealing is a must. If you don’t have a heat sealer, this is the one I use and it works great! Once you’ve heat sealed your cookies they’re ready to freeze. I know most people place them into containers, but I’ve also frozen them just in their sealed bags and got the same results.

  • Whether the cookies are placed into a airtight container, or just placed into the freezer I do it the same way. I prefer to sit them up on their ends (like you’re filing papers). I have a whole side of my deep freezer just lined with cookies in their heat sealed bags. That’s it.
  • Make sure you’re not placing them by a bunch of strong smelling foods!
  • To thaw:
  • If you froze in a container- Place the whole container on the counter and do not remove the cookies until everything has come to room temp.
  • If you froze only in heat sealed bags- Place the cookies (in their bags) onto the counter. Do not shake the cookies around, remove them from the bags, or box them up until they’ve completely thawed. If they need to stay in the bag for an order, just leave them. You don’t need to change the bag.
  • How long can I freeze this way? I have cookies in my freezer that I’m still doing testing on. They’re going on roughly 11 months and they taste just as fresh as the day they were baked!

Why don’t you just refrigerate your dough or cookies? 

  • I never refrigerate my dough unless I know I’ll use it within 3 days. I tried several times and any amount of time over 3 days, and the dough will start to dry out and give you all kinds of problems when they bake.
  • The same goes for baked cookies. The fridge will absolutely dry them out.

Storing Baked Decorated & Undecorated Sugar Cookies

  • For undecorated cookies: These are easily stored in lidded containers or zip up bags. I prefer to not use air-tight containers simply because I live in a humid environment and it tends to keep the cookies too warm. Also, I use these containers during my decorating process and if you put a cookie into an air-tight container before the royal is fully dry, it will produce waves in the icing because there’s not enough air circulation.
  • For decorated cookies: Again, I prefer to store fully decorated cookies in heat sealed bags because it will keep them fresher for much longer. You can use just a container if you prefer.
  • How long will these last? I know of people who test for months and said they were just fine. But to be completely honest, after roughly 2 weeks I’m not a fan of them. I like my cookies on the softer side. Anything over 2 weeks and they tend to have more of a bite.
  • You will get a bit more time out of the heat sealed cookies simply because with a container you’re constantly opening it and exposing all of the cookies.

Freezing Royal Icing

Bonus: Here’s a few little royal icing tips! I haven’t tried these tips with glaze or royal made with egg whites. I’ve only tested my recipe.

  • If you refrigerate your royal icing when you’re not using it, it won’t separate as quickly as when it’s just setting on the counter. During the decorating process I always put the royal in the fridge during the evenings. The next day I just make sure to take it out of the fridge an hour or so before I need it. If there is any separation just massage the bag and it will come back together.
  • You can freeze your royal icing! I’ve frozen my royal for up to a year without an issues. When I know I’m going to need it, I just put it into the fridge the night before. It will thaw overnight in the fridge and you can use it just like freshly made royal.

    Hi! First of all, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I love your recipes! I was just wondering: Do you notice any difference in the finished cookies when you freeze the cut out shapes and bake from frozen? I can just take them straight from the freezer to the oven, right? This could save my sanity this year!!

    Can I flood cookies, freeze in airtight containers with waxed paper in between each layer, and then once I defrost them, decorate them with detail? I have a large order for Christmas ornaments and I thought this would help save time.

    If you bake cookies, then freeze them for a bit, then take them out to decorate and ship, do they go bad any quicker since they were baked a bit of time back or do they still stay good for 2-3 weeks?

      Hi Andrea! Freezing helps maintain freshness for months. I’ve tested them as far as 6 months after freezing and they tasted just as good as fresh cookies. You can also decorate and freeze. They don’t go bad any quicker than fresh baked. They are still stable for weeks. 🙂

We have to bring them to the restaurant in advance for them to set up for the party.

      Hi Penny! That’s just something that happens when putting icing or royal on a cookie. You can rolling the dough a bit thinner. I know bakers who roll at 1/4″ because they prefer a crisp cookie. Keep in mind that the thinner the cookie is, the easier it is to break though. Another thing you could try is baking the cookie a minute or two longer. I hope that helps! 🙂

      Hi Cindy! Thank you 🙂 You can go ahead and use your bags but you’re going to want to put them into an airtight container once they’re bagged. The self stick bags aren’t airtight like the heat sealed ones so you’ve got to take that step to put them into something that is. Other than that, you’re good to go 🙂

      Hi Jahnavi! While you’re working on them there’s no need to freeze them. You don’t have to freeze them once they’re decorated as long as you’re heat sealing them, but if the delivery date is over a week away once you’re done decorating then I personally would. Again, the final decision is up to you, but no matter what you do they should be heat sealed. If you do freeze after you’re done working on them, just make sure to follow all of my tips and give them time to thaw before delivery. I hope that helps and good luck! 🙂

      Hi Claudia! They’re good for a few weeks, but this also varies by what kind you made and the royal icing you use. When shipping you want to make sure you are bubble wrapping your cookies and making sure when you close the box that nothing moves when you shake it. If anything can move, then it can (and will) break. I like to line my box in bubble wrap, then take two cookies, put them back to back, wrap them in bubble wrap and fill the box like that. I put them in the box standing up (think like a filing cabinet with papers). I’ve had much better luck doing it that way. Once all of your cookies are wrapped and in the box, fill any space with more bubble or empty grocery bags. To add: I do individually heat seal all of my cookies before doing any of this. I hope that helps! 🙂

I’m not sure how to store them once theyre baked but not yet decorated. Is it worth freezing them or will they keep at room temp in zip loc bags for 3-4 days?

O con el azúcar y jugo de limon se evita que se desarrolle la bacteria? ,y al dejarlo por dias y meses en la heladera o congelador tambien no hay peligro que se desarrolle esa bacteria?.

      Hola carina Siempre existe el riesgo de salmonella cuando se usan huevos crudos. Tiendo a errar por el lado de la precaución y uso el polvo de merengue. Sin embargo, conozco a muchas personas que usan los huevos crudos para hacer su glaseado. Definitivamente no puedes refrigerarlo durante meses, pero congelarlo está bien. Tampoco debes dejarlo en su lugar, así que al menos debes mantenerlo refrigerado. ¡Espero que esto ayude! ¡Gracias, buena suerte y feliz horneado!

      Hi Anna! I do them individually because that’s how they go to the client (1 per bag). If you’re freezing the minis you can do more than one in a bag, but make sure to never crowd it. Bag them how you’d give them to your clients that way you don’t have any extra steps to do (removing from a bag and putting in a different bag). I hope that makes sense and helps! 🙂

      Hi Tammy! This could be due to a few things. It could have gotten too warm where they were setting or they weren’t fully dry before you bagged them. I’ve stored and frozen in Zip-loc bags without any issues you do just have to make sure they’re fully dry and that it’s not warm where they are. I hope that helps! 🙂

      Hi Elizabeth! I haven’t frozen buttercream decorated cookies yet. I have frozen the cookies and I’ve frozen the buttercream- I just haven’t done the two together. Theoretically you shouldn’t have any problems with it because buttercream covered cakes do just fine. I’d still follow the thawing directions as if you had frozen the cookies with royal, but really, you should be fine 🙂

    I love making cut out Christmas cookies but save them for the last cookies I make. I bake cookies a couple of months prior & freeze. I’ve always used powder sugar glaze to decorate but was told this doesn’t freeze well so I save decorating for the last project of cookies & am really burnt out by then. I am curious to try the royal icing method. How can these be frozen without individual heat sealed bags?

      Hi Debbie! To be honest, I haven’t tried freezing fully decorated cookies without them being heat sealed. I have frozen flooded cookies in large zip lock bags and haven’t had any issues. Just make sure you follow the same procedure as fully decorated (i.e. let thaw in the bag so any condensation that forms from thawing doesn’t end up on the cookie). I hope that helps! 🙂

    I have 500 decorated sugar cookies that I have placed in the freezer in a Ziploc bag with wax paper laying between the layers when I go to defrost them on the counter will the icing stick to the paper or should I pull them out and let them air dry at room temperature . I am concerned because there are so many read decorated I cant afford to start over.

      Hi Becky! You should always defrost in whatever you’ve frozen them in. This will keep any condensation that forms off of the cookies. If you take them out of the bags and defrost you will ruin your royal icing, as the condensation will form on the cookie and royal instead of the bag. I hope that helps! 🙂

    When you heat seal are you vacuuming the air out or just heat sealing the bag?

      Hi Sarah! Heat sealing is just sealing the bag. 🙂

        Hi. When freezing royal icing, is it better to freeze in containers and then put into piping bags once thawed or would you be able to freeze it while in the piping bags? I’m going to be making cookies for my baby shower and just want to know how much of the prep work I can do ahead of time.

          Hi Sami! You could freeze in the piping bags and then just kinda massage the royal around once it’s not frozen anymore. It thaws pretty quickly so as soon as it’s manageable I’d go ahead and start moving it around in the bag gently. The longer you let it set at room temperature the more risk you have of separation so just watch for that. I hope that helps! 🙂

    How do you thaw unbaked cookie dough if you’ve frozen it in a disk? Same way as unbaked cookies?

      Hi Ashley! I don’t thaw unbaked cookies, I just bake from frozen. With frozen dough I just leave it on the counter for about half an hour (just until it becomes workable), roll it out, cut, and bake. 🙂

      Hi Lori! Heat sealed bags are just clear cellophane bags that you heat seal. I use these bags and this sealer 🙂

    Any info on fully decorated cookies being frozen (while heat sealed), thawed in transport, then the customer freezing them again? I can never find a good answer if there are any no-no’s about freezing twice.
    P.S. love your sugar cookie recipe- first one I’ve ised that doesn’t spread!

      Hi Brittany! I don’t ever re-freeze simply because of food safety. If you’re client is going to be eating the cookies within around a 2 week time frame (after receiving them), the don’t need to be re-frozen. 🙂 I hope that helps and I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the recipes!
