Is it possible to make these and freeze them - either prior to baking, or after baking - for quick use? (Like you can get the frozen kind in bags at the grocery store). If so, which works better? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I haven't done this, although I think it could be done quite successfully. I would go with making them and freezing them before baking. Then just go from freezer to oven, like you do with store bought brands. If you try this, please let me know how it goes! Thanks.
