How long in advance would you make the following?

Hi, I'm planning on making and freezing some things so I can just defrost, roll and bake nearer Christmas.

I'm doing mince pie pastry (the receipe from here with trex in), gingerbread dough and sugar cookie dough.

I also plan to make Oreos dipped in candy melts, how long do you think they would last in a biscuit tin?

Thank you, hope everyone's Christmas prep is going well :tree:

I'm doing mince pie pastry (the receipe from here with trex in).. as I was going to use it
, gingerbread dough the night before
and sugar cookie dough... never, I don't like it

I also plan to make Oreos dipped in candy melts, how long do you think they would last in a biscuit tin? about 15 minutes if the children knew they were there.. forever if just me.

You could make the mince pie pastry anytime and freeze it. It freezes as defrosts perfectly. Defrost over night in the fridge and use as normal.

I would have thought you can do the same with the dough as well. I've froze frangipane before and that turned out perfectly okay.

I've never used candy melts so no idea on those.
