Among its many oversized offerings, Costco fans can't seem to get enough of the Kirkland Signature Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies. We even placed them in our ranking of Costco bakery cookies. The biggest problem, though, is that the little treats come in a pack of 60, and while we can certainly polish off a dozen or so in one sitting, it seems unlikely that all 60 will disappear before that dreaded window of cookie freshness disappears.
The only negative to buying baked goods from Costco could also be seen as a positive, depending on how you look at it, and that is the enormous quantity in which most Costco items are sold. Sure, it's economical, but watching two dozen Costco cookies slowly perish on your counter is no fun. Luckily, according to Reddit, there is a ways to save these sweet treats.
Ladle the compote into ice cube trays and freeze them - then transfer the cubes to an airtight freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bags. It's important to remove as much air as possible - a handheld vacuum sealer works wonders here. If you're filling bags with liquid instead of making cubes, leave a half an inch of space at the top since liquid expands as it freezes. Stack the bags to save space, and to break off pieces easily.
