Can You Freeze Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast cookies are easy to make ahead and freeze for later; making them a great option for busy mornings!

You can freeze breakfast cookie dough unbaked for up to 3 months in an airtight container. In the morning, you simply bake however many you need while you get ready. Tip: label your zip bag or container with the oven temperature and cooking time.

Baked breakfast cookies can be frozen after they’ve cooled down as well and in the morning, you can thaw them on the counter for 10 or so minutes or pop them in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds.

What to Eat with Breakfast Cookies

Breakfast cookies pair perfectly with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, a smoothie, coffee, juice… anything!

Here are a few pairings to get you started:

Smoothies: tasty, packed with nutrients, and an easy and quick option to take all those veggies and fruit we say we should eat daily. Strawberries, apples, spinach, peach… you choose! And you can make the smoothies even more powerful by adding protein powder.

Fruits: diced apples, pineapples, pears, sliced bananas, or berries. A fresh option to eat with cookies!

Yogurt: fresh, creamy, and tasty. High in protein, vitamins, and minerals that are good for you!

Fruit and yogurt parfait: why should you choose one if you can have both! Grab a glass and add your favorite fruits and yogurt to enjoy with these cookie recipes.
