Yes, you can freeze these cookies! For best results, place the cookies on a plate or cookie sheet, not touching, and chill for about two hours. Once frozen, transfer cookies to a sealed container or Ziploc bag.
Unlike baked cookies, though, no-bake cookies can be stored in the fridge or freezer for up to three weeks and retain their good flavor and texture.
No bake cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for about a week, or two weeks in the refrigerator. You can also refrigerate no bake cookies to help them cool faster, but that is not required.
- Form the dough discs. Shape the dough with your hands into a flat 1-inch-thick disc.
- Wrap tightly. Tightly wrap the dough with plastic wrap or reusable bee’s wrap, making sure that every part of the surface is covered to prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Just like a stick of butter, the longer they sit at room temperature, the looser and stickier the cookies will get. Sometimes refrigerating them produces a different consistency, but they will still taste great.
The most common reason for gooey no bake cookies is not boiling the mixture for long enough. As explained above, your cookies will not hold together if the sugar doesn’t reach soft ball stage. If you have had problems with runny cookies in the past, try cooking the mixture for longer on the stovetop.
The beauty of chocolate no bake cookies, is that they have a long shelf life compared to baked cookies. Once they have fully set, transfer them to an airtight container, with the layers separated by parchment, and they will keep at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
You can freeze filled cookies, such as thumbprint cookies and cookies that are coated in powdered sugar, such as Mexican wedding cookies either after they are baked or freeze the cookie dough.
