Storage
To keep your cookies fresh longer, follow these simple storage tips:
• At room temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Place a sheet of parchment paper between the cookies to prevent them from sticking together.
• In the refrigerator: If you want to extend their life, you can store the cookies in the refrigerator for about 5 days, always in an airtight container.
• In the freezer: You can also freeze the cookies. Arrange them on a tray so they don’t touch and put them in the freezer until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. This way, they will keep for about 2-3 months. When you want to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature.
These simple steps will help keep your cookies fresh and tasty!
