Cookies are best eaten fresh out of the oven, but sometimes they need to be stored for later.If you don't have the strength to eat them immediately, store them in a container with a piece of bread.They will be able to taste fresh for longer.If you want to keep your cookies fresh for a long time, put them in a sealed bag and place in the freezer.
Step 1: Before storing homemade cookies, let them cool completely.
Other cookies in the container will be soggy because of hot cookies releasing condensation into the air.Since nobody likes soggy cookies, leave them on a tray and transfer them to a container.Leave the biscuits to cool on a plate if you don't have a cooling tray.
Step 2: Transfer your cookies to a container.
It will stop the cookies from becoming soft.It is easy and inexpensive to use airtight bags or plastic containers.If you can, choose a container that fits the cookies.It helps to keep the cookies fresh by limiting the amount of air in the container.If you have made different kinds of cookies, store them in different containers so that they don't go soggy.If you plan to store cookies in a plastic container, make sure it is made from food grade plastic.If you are storing biscuits that are very hard, place them in a container that will allow more air to come in.
Step 3: There are sheets of paper between the cookies.
If you have made a lot of cookies, put sheets of paper in between the cookie layers to stop them from sticking to each other.You can use wax paper or a tortilla if you don't have any parchment paper.Stack cookies that are frosted or soft.
Step 4: To keep them fresh, put a piece of white bread in the cookie container.
White bread will help keep cookies fresh.A piece of bread should be placed at the top of the bag or container.If you don't have fresh bread in the house, use a tortilla.
Step 5: The cookie container should be kept at room temperature.
Soft homemade cookies will last for 3 days and hard or packaged cookies for 2 weeks if you don't eat them first.If you keep the container out of the sun, the cookies will taste better.
Step 6: Transfer the cookies to the bag.
Wait until the cookies are nice to touch.They will not be able to create condensation in the plastic bag.The bag should be large enough for the cookies to sit in a single layer.The cookies will have a funny smell if they are in a sealed bag.Once the cookies thaw, unfrost them and add the frosting.This will make the icing taste better.
Step 7: If the cookies won't fit in a single layer, store them in multiple bags.
If there are too many cookies, split them between the sealable bags.The cookies will not stick together.
Step 8: The bag can be put into the freezer for up to five months.
The cookies will lose their flavor over time.You should eat the cookies within 5 months.To find out how long the cookies have been in the freezer, write the date on the bag with a permanent marker.
Step 9: The cookies need to be cooled down for 15 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the bag and place them on a plate to cool.The cookies should be completely thawed to make them delicious.If there are flies, cover the cookies with a cloth.If you want to warm a cookie up, place it in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Step 10: For up to 7 days, keep your cookies in a container.
