Freeze Baked - They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Allow to cool completely, the transfer to a large airtight container with baking paper between the layers.
Defrost - They will take roughly an hour to defrost.
Freeze Unbaked - They can also be frozen uncooked. Place the muffin tray in the freezer (double wrapped in cling film). Once solid, use a knife to gently release the cookie cups and freeze in freezer bags.
Bake from Frozen - Bake from the freezer for an additional 2 minutes - 14 - 15 minutes.

Tips for making Nutella Cups

Make sure that the cookie dough is properly sealed.
You can use Biscoff or Caramel instead for a different flavour altogether!
