  • Whip butter for 3-4 minutes along with brown sugar

My grandmother used to make batches of cookies and freeze them. She always had cookies to serve if anyone dropped over for a visit.

My sister also freezes cookies, but not to serve to company. She likes to eat them frozen! She pulls out one at a time and eats them in their hard frozen state.

To freeze

  • Allow cookies to cool completely on a baking rack
  • Place cookies in an airtight container or a freezer bag
  • Arrange cookies in a single layer
  • Place a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper on top of cookies and add another layer of cookies
  • Freeze container in a flat position
  • Cookies will last up to three months in a deep freezer
