If stored properly in an airtight jar, the ingredients can be stored for up to 3 months.
Cookies that are easy to make and have a longer shelf life, such as chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and snickerdoodle, are great options.
Cookie Storing and Reheating Tips
Pantry: Transfer the cookies to an airtight container as soon as they have cooled completely. If you're stacking multiple cookies, make sure to separate each layer with a piece of parchment paper, wax paper, or cling wrap. This will prevent them from sticking together.
Most cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to a week. Keep the container in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Freezer: If you want to store cookies for longer, freeze them in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag. Frozen cookies can last up to 6 months.
Thawing and Reheating: When you're ready to eat your frozen cookies, remove them from the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few hours before eating.
Top Tip
Layer the dry ingredients in the jar in a specific order. Use a small spoon or the back of a measuring cup to pack down each layer to ensure that the ingredients fit tightly in the jar. This will prevent air pockets and keep the ingredients fresh.
