    Storage Instructions

    Finished caramel apple cookies will last in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. 

    Can I Freeze Caramel Apple Cookies?

    You can, but I recommend doing so without the icing. To freeze the cookies, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

    If you’re stacking them in the container, layer pieces of parchment paper in between the cookies to prevent sticking.
