I want to make some Halloween cut out sugar cookies now and freeze them to be take out before the holiday and frost them. Will they be okay if I do it now or is that too long? I use real butter in all my cookie recipes and the best possible ingredients I can find here. I don't want them to taste old or freezer burnt.

That should not be too long. Just make sure they are wrapped air-tight. It takes a minimum of about 3 months for frozen fat of any kind including butter to begin to change chemically and get freezer burn.

Ms Crone, I still have cookies left over from last Christmas that were frozen and sealed in plastic. They haven't freezer burned (dessicated) and are stil as tasty as when I first froze them. It helps if you put them into the microwave for a few seconds (about 15 on high) to thaw them a bit. They should be perfectly fine to freeze now and still taste very fresh on Samhain.

If you pack them right they'll be just fine.
I begin my Christmas baking in early November and I bake hundreds of cookies. I simply layer them in freezer containers made by Rubbermaid or Dixie, I put a layer of wax paper or paper towels between each layer of cookie. They thaw out in absolutely no time and are just as good as when I made them. You certainly can freeze frosted cookies also.

Cookie dough will freeze well for 4 to 6 weeks

i would not particularly wrap each and every cookie! I positioned them in a ziplock bag and stash interior the freezer until i'm getting waiting to consume them then quarter-hour on a tray is suited for defrosting them. I roll the cookie dough into logs and wrap in plastic wrap and positioned it interior the freezer. it particularly is going to defrost in approximately half-hour to perfection for baking. saved interior the refrigerator it fairly is able to roll and bake or slice and bake at once yet do not shop it there extra beneficial than approximately 2 or 3 weeks. In freezer for six months.

As long it doesn't get freezer burnt... Which would be awhile.
