🌟Christmas Cookie Storage
By following these tips, you can enjoy your homemade cookies at their best for longer periods of time:
- Let the cookies cool completely after baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container.
- You can use a fully sealable plastic bag, but this will only keep the cookies fresh for a few days.
- To extend freshness for up to two weeks, consider storing them in the fridge.
- I've never tried this tip, but some people like to add a slice of bread to the container to maintain moisture and prevent drying out.

Baking Ideas for Christmas Gifts
There are countless baking ideas that make for holiday presents. One popular option is to create a custom cookie assortment, featuring a variety of flavors, shapes, and decorations.
Then to make the gift unique, use a cookie cutter to adorn the gifts you give:
- Choose a holiday-themed cookie cutter and then take colorful cardstock or scrapbooking paper and trace the outline of your chosen cookie cutter onto the paper.
- Cut out the shapes using scissors.
- Arrange the homemade baked Christmas cookies neatly in a gift box or a clear cellophane bag. Then, using double-sided tape or glue, secure the paper cutouts to the outside of the package, placing them strategically to showcase the cookie shapes.
- Tie a festive ribbon or twine around the package. You can even attach a small holiday-themed ornament or gift tag for an extra special touch.
