Reply to "Freezing/Storing Large Volume"

As a veteran, thank you so much for what you're doing!! You can freeze both undecorated and decorated cookies, though I think you would be better off to bake, decorate, and freeze a manageable amount, and then work onto the next batch instead of freezing undecorated cookies and defrosting and decorating and freezing and defrosting a second time. I would recommend sealing them individually, either in ziploc snack bags or heat sealed in cellophane so they stay fresh and then freeze them until you are ready to ship. If they are small, you can heat seal several in one long cellophane bag by heat sealing little pockets as you place cookies in them. You can also store them in gallon ziploc bags in the freezer, but separate the layers with wax paper so they don't stick together. If you aren't worried about breakage, you could ship them in the gallon bags with cushioning in between them. Whichever method, defrost completely sealed in the bags. I freeze my dough as well, rolled out and wrapped in stretch-tite plastic wrap, which can also be a huge time saver. Even if you aren't worried about them breaking, I would still seal them for shipping because the bubble wrap you are using my not be food safe, or clean for that matter if you are recycling it as most people do. Also, the boxes maybe left outside, and you don't want to tempt ants or squirrels by having unsealed sweets in there. Good luck, and thank you for all you do for our troops!
