- These strawberry cheesecake sugar cookie cups are best served cold. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- You can also freeze them by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and then place them into a resealable bag for up to 2 months. However, I recommend that you freeze them without the cheesecake filling and jam.
