Frequently Asked Questions
Following are the questions that are asked most frequently about Milkybar Cookies. We trust you’ll find the answers helpful. If you have further questions, please post them in the comments box below.
What is the best way for storing Milk Bar Cookies?
After the cookies have been baked, if you’re fortunate enough to have leftovers, the best way to store Milkybar Cookies is to place them in an airtight container or zipped storage bag and store them at room temperature.
They’re best when eaten fresh but can be stored for about 3-5 days at room temperature.
How To Freeze Cookie Dough?
To freeze cookie dough, we recommend rolling the dough into cookie dough balls and placing them on a sheet to initially freeze in the freezer. This will take about 1-2 hours.
After the dough balls have been frozen, transfer them to a sealed freezer bag and place them back in the freezer for up to e months. This will allow you to simply pull out the bag of dough and use as few or as many of the separated cookie dough balls at a time as you’d like.
Why should I be taking the time for refrigerating the cookie dough?
Refrigerating the cookie dough is an important step. It helps the cookies to maintain their shape while baking and not melt into a big puddle. Chilling the dough allows the butter to solidify before it bakes, which then takes longer for it to melt in the oven, helping the dough to maintain its shape.
