Answers:
Freezing them will actually lock in some of the moisture so that when you take them out they will be moist!. I like them better if they have been frozen, personal preference, I guess!. I agree with the first lady, don't frost them until they come out and make sure that they are stored properly to prevent freezer burn!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes!.!.!.!. This recipe makes 3 dozen (most recipes only make 2 doz) and freezes really well!. Sprinkle them with powdered sugar after you thaw them out!.!.!. They're different because they have a creamy, chocolate chip filling!.!.!.!.

Yes, freezing them is fine!. As others said, make sure they're in a good container so they don't have freezerburn!. also, make sure you allow them to thaw completely before you frost them (don't frost before freezing) - the frosting will stick better once they have thawed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes you can freeze them, I always do in Ziploc freezer bags!. Just make sure when you thaw them, you remove them from the bags, or otherwise the tops will get a bit "gummy"!. also, don't freeze them with any type of icing or frosting on them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, but do not frost them until that day after they have come back to room temp!.
Wrap them in really good plastic wrap individually and twice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
