Could you bake them, then freeze, then just warm them up?
I’ve never done that, but I’m sure you could. I don’t know how they taste reheated.
So if you were to make ahead, would you follow the directions until the baking part and then just refrigerate them or freeze them? Do you let them thaw before cooking if you freeze them?
Correct. Make them through step 4. Freeze them. You just need to let them thaw for about 30 minutes on the counter before baking. I think they would be fine baking completely frozen. You would just need to add a few minutes to the baking time.
