Reply to "Is It Possible to Freeze Decorated Cookies?"

I got into a situation at Christmas where I needed to bake ahead and freeze.  I knew I had seen a blog post about it.  Bake at 350's blog post reassured me that, yes, it could be done.  I bagged the decorated and thoroughly dried cookies in their cello bags (ribbons and all), placed them in a freezer bag collectively, placed the freezer bag in a large Tupperware type container, and put in in my freezer for 3 weeks.  When it was time to travel, I took the cookies and placed the Tupperware-type container straight from the freezer onto my kitchen table for 24 hours, then I sneaked a peek and they looked okay.  Her blog post stressed not thawing in the refrigerator.  Condensation kills royal icing.  For my cookies, there was no bleeding, no condensation, no discoloration, nothing untoward!  I put the containers directly into my car and drove to where I was going and unpacked them there.  They were fine at the party the next day in their individual packets!  I have frozen smaller quantities since then and never has anything been problematic!  It does, however, take up a lot of space in the freezer.  They need to be flat and undisturbed, obviously.
