Freezing Cookies?

[sheilarose2]

I am wanting to make some sugar cookie cut outs for Christmas for my daughters preschool and was wondering if freezing the cookies would be a bad idea? It sure would save me alot of time to bake them ahead of time then freeze them. I plan on taking them to her school party with stuff for them to decorate them with. Anyone know if this would work?
TIA

I freeze cookies all the time. Works just fine.

I too make my sugar cookies ahead of time & freeze them in rubbermaid containers with no problems. I love to have them baked & ready in the freezer for frosting & decorating later.

If you separate the layers with freezer film or baking parchment you don't have to get them all out at once if you don't need to

Thanks all! Now I just need to find a recipe for sugar cookies that is good, easy, and won't burn!!!! I don't like it when my cookies get too brown on the bottom. I use a non stick silver cookie sheet. What kind would work best?

I use a Silpat mat for cookies. Silpat

It helps cook them evenly, so the edges don't get brown faster than the middle.

I'll second the use of a silpat. there are other brands that are exactly the same as the silpat and they work really well to. Exopat is another brand.

Right now there is a silpat brand on sale at Amazon.

Pizza stones are good too

I will give the silpat a try. Headed to amazon to check it out.
Thanks all!
