How to Freeze Cookies

Each Crumbl cookie is baked fresh in-store each day—just the way they’re meant to be enjoyed. But with so many rotating flavors (especially the ones that don’t visit the menu as often), we know fans love to stock up when their favorites return. If you’re saving a few for later, here’s how to freeze cookies for the best results. Freezing cookies isn’t just about saving extras—it’s about making your favorite treats last. The key is knowing which cookies freeze best, how to package them properly, and how to thaw them so they taste _almost_ as good the second time around (but let’s be honest—nothing will beat a freshly baked cookie straight out of a Pink Box). Here’s everything you need to keep your cookies fresh, soft, and delicious. ##### **Why Freeze Cookies?** Freezing extends the life of cookies far beyond the few days they’d last on your counter. It helps ensure every cookie gets enjoyed, even when you bring home more than you can finish right away. Plus, knowing you’ve got some of your favorite Crumbl flavors waiting in the freezer is a pretty great feeling. ##### **Do All Cookies Freeze Well?** Not every cookie handles the freezer the same way. Thick and sturdy cookies—like [Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://crumblcookies.com/profiles/milk-chocolate-chip-cookie) , [Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookie](https://crumblcookies.com/profiles/ultimate-peanut-butter-cookie) , and [Brownie Batter Cookie](https://crumblcookies.com/profiles/brownie-batter-cookie) —freeze extremely well and taste almost identical once thawed. Frosted cookies and those with soft fillings or toppings can be trickier—moisture and decorations don’t always play nice with the freezer. You can freeze them, but individual wrapping and gentle handling are important to keeping their shape and texture intact. ##### **How to Freeze Baked Cookies** **1. Cool completely.** Warm cookies release steam, which can cause freezer burn. **2. Pre-freeze briefly.** Place cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour to firm them up. **3. Layer & protect.** Place parchment or wax paper between cookies and store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. **4. Label.** Write the date so you know how long they’ve been stored. When stored properly, your Crumbl cookies can stay in the freezer for two to three months. ##### **Thawing Frozen Cookies** When you’re ready to enjoy your cookies, just place them in a sealed container at room temperature and let them warm up slowly. This keeps them from drying out while they thaw. If you want to take it a step further, pop them into a warm oven for a few minutes to revive the aroma and texture. ##### **Tips for Long-Lasting Freshness** The secret to freezer success comes down to keeping air out. Too much air can cause freezer burn, so press out as much as possible before sealing your container or bag. Another helpful tip is to store similar cookies together so each cookie keeps its original flavor. And don’t forget to label the container—knowing the flavor (and when you froze it) makes enjoying them later so much easier. ##### **How Long Do Cookies Last in the Freezer?** Most cookies can be stored for about two to three months in the freezer. Frosted or decorated cookies are best enjoyed within one to two months since toppings can decrease in quality over time. If you notice freezer burn or the flavor isn’t quite the same, it may be time to pick up a fresh pack. ##### **Enjoy Now or Later** Freezing cookies lets you keep some of your favorite sweet treats on hand. With a little care, most cookies freeze beautifully. Baked cookies, and even frosted desserts can last for months when handled the right way. Ready to put these tips to the test?
