After freezing cookies what is the best way to defrost them?

There are two best ways to defrost cookies.

Option 1: At Room Temperature

- Remove cookies from the freezer.

- Allow to defrost at room temperature on a wire rack.

- Defrosting cookies at room temperature helps avoid the formation of condensation, which could make the cookies soggy.

- Depending on the size and quantity of cookies, it can take about 30 minutes to an hour for the cookies to thaw.

Option 2: In the Microwave

- Place the frozen cookies on a microwave-safe plate.

- Microwave the cookies on low or defrost setting in short intervals of 10-15 seconds.

- Check the cookies after each interval and stop microwaving when they are thoroughly thawed.

Tips for Defrosting Cookies:

- Avoid thawing frozen cookies in the fridge, as this may introduce moisture and make the cookies soggy.

- Try to consume defrosted cookies within a few days to maintain freshness.

- If you plan to refreeze thawed cookies, make sure they are completely dry and properly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
