Why should you freeze cookies?
- Too few biscuits were eaten at the Christmas party.
- Too many cookies have been baked.
With a few tips and tricks, it is possible to freeze the leftover biscuits (Christmas biscuit recipes) and after a few weeks or months without much loss of taste Cookies don’t freeze as firmly, and some varieties are delicious straight out of the freezer (e.g. Machine Bakery). Due to the low water content, biscuits thaw quickly (e.g. vanilla crescents).
Proper packaging when freezing
You can use different materials as long as they can be closed as tightly as possible and are easy to clean. It is important that they do not give off any flavor to the frozen food.
Fresh storage containers that are airtight, watertight, aroma-tight, and dishwasher-safe are suitable for the Christmas biscuits. They must not break or become brittle in severe cold and must also close tightly when frozen. Most cans are suitable for temperatures down to -20 degrees and since they can be stacked well, the available storage space in the freezer can be optimally used.
To prevent freezer burn, seal the packs as tightly as possible. Vacuum sealing and sealing freezer bags is ideal for avoiding freezer burn. Careful knotting with a plastic clip or a rubber ring and avoiding air pockets are important, as the oxygen contained there slows down the freezing process and leads to a loss of quality. Basically, biscuits freeze faster in the freezer bag because the thin material lets the cold through faster and also adapts optimally to the frozen goods.
Do not leave any air in the freezer bag!
By the way: Freezer burn is not dangerous or harmful to your health.
