Frequently Asked Questions

How to store?

Store confetti cookies at room temperature inside an airtight container. You can add a piece of bread to keep their soft texture.

Can you freeze the cookies?

Yes, the cookies are easy to freeze. You can freeze the cookie dough before baking. Simply form the cookie dough balls as normal and flash freeze them on a cookie sheet. After 1 to 2 hours, transfer the cookies to a freezer container. Bake as normal but add a few extra minutes if frozen.

You can also freeze the cookies already baked. Allow to cool and place inside a freezer container.

Pro Tips

  • Prepare the pan. I like to use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Don’t overbake the cookies. They should be a light golden brown and will continue to set on the pan.
  • Use a cookie scoop. The cookies are easy to make into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop.
