How to store No Bake Cookies:
No bake cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or zip baggie for about a week. They can be stored in the same manner for two weeks in the refrigerator. I prefer to keep mine refrigerated!
Can you freeze No Bake Cookies?
Yes! The best way to freeze no bake cookies is to set them on a baking sheet and put the whole baking sheet in the freezer so the cookies can freeze individually. Then pop all of the frozen cookies into a large freezer zip baggie. No bake cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
