Can You Freeze these White Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Sugar Cookies?
Yes, the White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies can be frozen.
You have 2 options for freezing the cookies.
1: You can make the dough, assemble into logs ahead of time and then freeze the individual logs of dough. Then when you are ready to bake the cookies, allow the dough logs to defrost just a bit so they are sliceable and then bake as normal.
2. Or you can bake the white chocolate cranberry cookies according to the directions below, let them cool completely and freeze them for later. The cookies should be frozen individually (I recommend placing them on a baking sheet or cutting board, not touching, until frozen solid. Then you can place them into an airtight container or freezer safe baggie for up to 3 months.
