There are times when you prepare cookie dough, but the day doesn’t go as planned, leaving no time to bake. So, how long can cookie dough be kept in the fridge?
Typically, cookie dough can be stored in the refrigerator, properly wrapped, for about 3-5 days before baking.
For longer storage, consider freezing the dough. You can freeze the entire dough block or divide it into portions for easy baking later.
How Long Does Store-Bought Refrigerated Cookie Dough Last?
The shelf life depends on the brand, so it’s best to check the best-by date on the packaging. Similar to homemade dough, if the store-bought dough is nearing its expiration, freezing is an option. According to the Nestlé Toll House website, their refrigerated dough can be frozen for up to 2 months if it’s frozen before the ‘use by’ date on the package.
