Cookie Storage Tips
Cookies are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed any time of day. However, if you want your cookies to stay fresh and tasty, it's important to store them properly.
- The first step is to allow the cookies to cool completely. Once they're cool, you can transfer them to an airtight cookie storage container.
- If you're stacking the cookies, be sure to put a piece of wax paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.
- You can also place the cookies in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to two months.
- Just be sure to thaw the cookies before eating them so that they're at their best.
