How to Freeze Girl Scout Cookies?
Freezing Girl Scout cookies is very easy and does not requires a lot of effort.
It will only take you a couple of minutes to get everything packed and ready for the freezer.
Let us take a look at the steps below.
1. Get the Cookies Together
Get together all the boxes of Girl Scout cookies that you have and want to store in the freezer.
2. Remove Them from The Boxes
For easy storage, it is a good idea to remove the Girl Scout cookies from the box. You will be able to fit more inside the freezer, compared to keeping them in bulky boxe.
3. Wrap Opened Packages of Cookies
If you have any unopened Girl Scout cookie packages (yes, it’s hard to not take 1 or 2), you might want to use plastic wrap to cover them before freezing.
4. Store in Freezer Bags
You will now place the packages of cookies inside a heavy duty freezer bag. Use large size bags, as they will be able to hold all of your cookies. If you do not have any freezer bags available, you could also place the packages inside of an airtight freezer container.
5. Freeze the Cookies
Once everything is packaged properly, you can store the Girl Scout cookies in the freezer. They can be kept for up to a year, but it is best to eat them within 2-3 months.
Thawing Frozen Girl Scout Cookies
When you are ready to enjoy your frozen Girl Scout cookies, you can either eat them straight out of the freezer or let them defrost a bit.
Whether it is Thin Mints, Samosas, Tagalongs or Trefoils, eating Girl Scout cookies straight out of the freezer is a pretty nice crisp/cool treat.
A lot of people are addicted to eating the cookies this way, so they really have no problem in thawing them out.
If you do not enjoy them cold, you can let them sit at room temperature to defrost.
This is going to take only a couple of minutes and then you should be able to enjoy on your favorites from thin mints, samosas and more.
