Learn the best methods for storing cookies to keep them fresh, soft, and delicious. Discover tips for freezing cookie dough, extending shelf life, and reviving stale cookies.
Ingredients
- Cookies
- Airtight containers
- Plastic wrap
- Aluminum foil
- Freezer bags
- Sugar cubes (optional)
- Bread slices (optional)
Instructions
- For short-term storage (a few days), place cooled cookies in an airtight container.
- To keep cookies soft, add a slice of bread or a sugar cube to the container. This helps maintain moisture.
- For longer storage, wrap individual cookies or stacks of cookies tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped cookies in a freezer bag or airtight container.
- Freeze cookie dough by portioning it onto a baking sheet, freezing until solid, then transferring to a freezer bag.
- To revive hard cookies, briefly warm them in the oven or microwave, or place them in a container with a fresh slice of bread overnight.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Avoid mixing different types of cookies in the same container, as flavors and moisture levels can transfer.
- Label and date all stored cookies and dough for easy identification.
