I'm hoping to make up a batch and freeze them, then defrost & fill before serving. I have a bunch of questions though. Do they have to be individually wrapped to freeze well? Also, I would think that defrosting them in the wrapping would lead to more condensation than removing them from the wrapping and then freezing, wouldn't it? Would their ability to freeze well change depending on whether you use the syrup method? To freeze the macaroons, lay them out on a flat sheet pan and overwrap it with plastic wrap, make sure nothing get set on top of these in the freezer. The reason we leave items wrapped during defrosting is to allow any condensation from the air to fall on the outside, not on the item. When defrosted any condensation is removed with the plastic wrap. I haven't found any difference in the cookies after freezing regardless of method. Frank @ KAF.
