🍶Storage Tips
- Transfer the cookies to an airtight container as soon as they have cooled completely.
- This will help prevent them from absorbing any moisture from the air, which can cause them to become soft and stale.
- 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.
❄️Freezing Tips
- 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 Tips
- 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 Recipe 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.
How long can the ingredients be stored in the jar?
If stored properly in an airtight jar, the ingredients can be stored for up to 3 months.
What types of cookies work well for a mason jar gift?
Cookies that are easy to make and have a longer shelf life, such as chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and snickerdoodle, are great options.
