How to store these Crumbl salted caramel cheesecake cookies?

To store these cookies, place them in an air-tight container or a flat baking sheet and wrap them with plastic wrap to keep them air-tight, and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

I like my cookie chilled so I eat them right out of the fridge, but you can also pull them out and let them get to room temperature before enjoying them if that’s what you prefer.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Absolutely! These cookies freeze so well.

To freeze them place them on a flat baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours or until solid, you can then transfer them into an air-tight container, making sure to separate each one with a layer of wax or parchment paper. Freeze them this way for up to 2 months.

Once you’re ready to enjoy the cookies, pull them out of the freezes, lay them flat, and let them thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter then enjoy!
