Need info on freezing cookies and fudge.?

Most cookies will freeze fine. Biggest problem is keeping them from breaking in the freezer. Just make sure they are wrapped really well so they dont get freezer burn. You can freeze dough in logs or flashfreeze in balls, or bake then freeze.

I have frozen fudge perfectly fine. However it seems to depend on the recipe as far to if the texture changes a bit on defrost. The lighter ones seem to be a bit less creamy, but the denser ones are fine. It is not enough difference that I mind and very few people I have given it to notice, unless they recently got an unfrozen batch.

Biggest tip for fudge is on the defrost, make sure you open the bag as it is defrosting in the fridge or the condensation can cause real issues with the sugar dissolving.

In both cases, anything with chocolate has the chance of developing bloom. Its that white coloring, it doesnt effect taste but it doesnt look to pretty. Best way to lower the chance is to make sure the temperature changes are more gradual. For example, completely cool on the counter, to fridge to freezer. Its the temperature shock that causes it.

Also make sure you package well, I usually at least double wrap. On cookies I have been using zip storage bags on dough balls or baked, or press and seal around the dough rolls and then name brand freezer zip bags around those packages. For fudge I have been wrapping in wax paper then name brand freezer zip bags.

I start freezing fudge and cookie dough up to 6-8 weeks in advance, baked cookies 3-4, then start the defrosting process about 7-10 days ahead. Remember that once defrosted dough must be cooked before being refrozen or it can be a health issue and once cookies are baked those without preservatives have a pretty short shelflife.

I am not sure on truffles, but I am pretty sure most of the fudge elements would pertain.

hope that helps

Zip Lock Freezer Bags

Where I work we freeze baked cookies, peanut butter, chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin, they are all individually wrapped as that is how we sell them. They turn out fine. As for fudge or truffles, not sure.

I wrap homemade fudge in wax paper and freeze it often. Takes a while to thaw out, but other than that, it turns out fine.
