I want them to be as fresh tasting as possible. BUT I don't want to leave them last minute so I'm overwhelmed. I also do not want them to become stale tasting.
Can you freeze them?
I'm making quite a few different varieties for about 20-30 people.When making cookies or candies as Christmas gifts, when is a good time to start making them?
This is what i would do. start the candies now since candies take a while to go stale. And then make the cookies on the 23rd or 24th. And make sure you seal them up good.When making cookies or candies as Christmas gifts, when is a good time to start making them?
I'm doing the same and freezing the dough and using it as I give them out. A lot of people are going on vacation so they will get their cookies first (I don't want to spend all night baking all those cookies at the same time). Everyone else will get theirs the week before Christmas.
The candies you can make ahead and they'll be fine.
candies are easier because they don't really get stale but what kind of candy is the problem if its chocolates bake them with the cookies same time but other things like hard candy can be done early
the cookies should be about the night before like when your getting ready for the party about that time should be good or if you want a little earlier put some wrap over the cookies so the air doesn't get to them and make them stale
The candies can be done ahead of time, but I'd save the cookies until the last minute. Frozen cookies tend to be hard after they're defrosted.
yeah u can freeze the cookie dough.
answer mine please
