Freeze cookies?

[elaine l]

My daughter's wedding is coming up. Since we will be hosting many family members for that long weekend, I would like to start baking some cookies or something soon. Should I freeze the already baked cookies or should I freeze the dough? Never really made baked goods ahead of time.

One cookie I would like to make is Italian anise cookies so I would guess that I wouldn't frost them? Okay lots of questions...looking for lots of answers!

COokies freze great!! Bake them, then freeze.
I usually start my Christmas cookies in early Nov and become good friends with my freezer... just make sure they are airtight and no don't frost 'em first.
My BHG Christmas cookie mag I buy every year says most all of them can freeze up to 3 months.

Cookies freeze great. The sturdy ones like oatmeal and choc chip can be stacked and layed in sideways on the bottom of a gallon zip loc. The more delicate ones like Mexican Wedding Cakes/ Russian Tea Cakes can be layered in a plastic container between paper towels. Make sure cookies are completely cooled.
