Keep those irresistible cookie swap goodies (and your favorite cookie dough) fresh in the freezer.
In some cases, well-wrapped cookies can last in the freezer for up to a year.
The best cookies to freeze are sturdy and simple, like drop cookies, cutouts, and cookie bars.

Overly delicate treatslike light and airy meringue kissesgenerally don’t hold up to freezing well.
Cookies made with jam, fresh citrus juice, or zest don’t freeze well either.
The more layers between each cookie and the air, the better protected it is from freezer burn.
