Can you make chocolate chip cookies ahead? How to freeze these best chocolate chip cookies? All your questions answered below!
These chewy chocolate chip cookies are best freshly baked. These are not the cookies I would recommend sending in the mail to a friend, or baking a few days before the party you’re bringing them to. They will last in a sealed container for 3 days, but definitely start tasting a little stale after day 2.
Our advice? If you want to prep ahead, make the dough in advance and scoop out balls of cookie dough. Place the cookie dough in a freezer plastic bag and freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months for whenever you want fresh baked cookies!
You can also freeze the baked cookies in a freezer bag for up to 3 months so you can whip out a bag of homemade cookies any time without having to light the oven! If freezing, bake the cookies as directed and let them cool completely on your cooling rack before freezing!
Make sure you incorporate a cookies and milk break into your day today with these chewy chocolate chip cookies!
