How long ahead can you make christmas cookies and still be fresh?

You can freeza them for several months if you have them sealed well.

Thanks Sherasi and i assume this is after they are baked?

You can freeze many doughs before baking it, but also fresh baked cookies can also be frozen for several months too.

ive got one of those vacuum sealer machines and i love that. you can put things in the deep freeze for a longer time than normally

An inexpensive way to accomplish nearly the same thing is to use a two-layer sealing method.

Wrap the cookies (or dough) into tight cling-wrap (that new sealing plastic called "Press and Seal" works well) and then insert that package into a freeze-created zip-lock bag with the air squeezed out does very well.

My Brother-in-Law who has a Masters in Culinary Arts swears by this method of preservation.

Thanks so much and i went back through so many recepies on here and found about everything i wanted...

except perhaps the problem,at least in my case, of eating the raw cookie dough out of the freezer, which tastes as good as the cookies themselves.
But good planning on your part to be getting baking ready for Christmas already.
