How to store baked cookies

Storing cookies properly can ensure that they remain fresh and delicious. Here are a few tips on how to store your baked cookies:

Countertop: Store your cookies in an airtight container on the countertop. They will stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature.

Refrigerator: If you want to keep your cookies fresh for longer, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Just make sure to bring them to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.

Freezer: To keep your cookies fresh for an extended period of time, you can store them in the freezer. As I always do, I freeze half of the batch. To freeze them, place them in an airtight container or seal them in a gallon Ziploc bag. Before placing them in the freezer, write the date on the bag with a black sharpie. This way, you can easily track how long they have been stored. Cookies will stay fresh for up to three months in the freezer. Just make sure to thaw them at room temperature before serving them for the best taste and texture.

It’s important to note that cookies with high-fat content, like white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, tend to freeze better than others.
