Storage Techniques

  • For Soft and Chewy Cookies: Use an airtight container lined with parchment paper and add a slice of bread or a small piece of apple for moisture. Shelf life is 5 days at room temperature.
  • For Crispy Cookies: Store in an airtight container with a silica gel packet or paper towel to absorb moisture. Shelf life is 7 days at room temperature.
  • For Frosted Cookies: Place in a shallow airtight container in a single layer. Refrigerate if the frosting contains dairy. Shelf life is 2-3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
  • For Gluten-Free Cookies: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for long-term storage. Shelf life is 3-4 days at room temperature or up to 2 months in the freezer.
  • For Homemade Cookies: Store in an airtight container and consume within a week.
  • For Store-Bought Cookies: Transfer to an airtight container once opened to maintain freshness.
  • Avoid mixing different types of cookies in the same container to preserve their unique textures.

Reviving Cookies

  • To revive soft cookies, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • For crispy cookies, reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • For frosted cookies, scrape off frosting, revive the cookie, and reapply fresh frosting.

Notes

Inspect cookies regularly for signs of spoilage like dryness, off taste, or mold. Store homemade and store-bought cookies separately to avoid freshness issues.
