HOW TO FREEZE STAPLE COOKIE INGREDIENTS
Grated Fresh Ginger: Freeze freshly grated ginger in an ice cube tray. Once
solid, you can pop the cubes into a resealable bag and have them on hand for up
to 3 months.Nuts: Fatty nuts have a notoriously short shelf life. Extend that time by
toasting, cooling, and placing your nuts in a resealable bag. They’ll keep for up to
2 months. Untoasted nuts can keep for up to 6 months.Almond Meal: Like its whole counterpart, almond meal can go rancid quickly.
Store your almond meal in a resealable bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.Cranberries: Many holiday cookie recipes call for cranberries, and if you can’t
get ahold of the fresh stuff , frozen will always work in a pinch. Just be sure to
thaw and pat dry before using in your recipe. Frozen cranberries will keep for up
to 12 months.Citrus Zest: Juicing some lemons or oranges but have no immediate use for the
zest? Zest the citrus, and allow to have a quick freeze on a fl at surface covered
with parchment paper. Once frozen, place in a resealable bag, and freeze for up
to 6 months. •WITH EASE
