    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I freeze frosted Crumbl Pumpkin cookies?

    Yes! Just wait for the buttercream frosting to firm up. Then layer your Crumbl Pumpkin cookies with parchment paper or wax paper between single layers of cookies in an air tight, freezer safe container.

    Can I freeze the cookie dough for later?

    Yes! But to make your life easier, make cookie balls first, place in a ziploc and freeze. This way you can pull out what you need. The individual balls will defrost much faster than a large container or frozen dough.
