My daughters wedding is a few months away and for the party favors, I was planning to have three different size heart shaped sugar cookies decorated with a hard glaze. I was wondering what would be the best way to make ahead (freeze?), so that I am not baking and decorating the week of the wedding. I would like the cookies to be fresh as possible. Do you think this is possible making a month ahead either decorated or decorate the week of the wedding? I love the idea of making up the cookie dough ahead of time and freezing, that will so help me with my holiday baking. But for the wedding, I don't want to be baking 450 cookies the week of.... Thank you for your always sharing such wonderfully helpful tips! Hoping not to be a "too stressed out mother of the bride" ha Congratulations to you and your family! Weddings are such amazing occasions, but definitely way up there on the stressometer. You can absolutely bake the cookies up to a month ahead of time and freeze them undecorated. Thaw them overnight and make sure they are dry before glazing. This can be done up to 3 days before the wedding. Be sure to invite some friends over to help. Folks truly love to be involved in little ways like this, and a chance to chat about their own weddings and romances is always a welcome treat. Best of luck! ~ MaryJane
