There is nothing better than the smell of fresh cookies in your home. And if you can keep them just as fresh, soft, or crunchy days after baking, even better. However, if you are unable to do this with cookies becoming hard, chewy, or flat in flavour, you are not the only one. In this article, let's explore how to properly store homemade cookies in a not-so-complicated way so that you can consume them for a longer time.
5 Tips How To Store Homemade Cookies
Made a tray of cookies and do not want them to get stale or become a hard stone? Given below are 5 pretty effective tips to store homemade cookies:
1. Let Them Cool Down
Store your cookies at room temperature by placing them on a stand, allowing them to cool down. Stuffing them when they are warm locks in moisture into the container, thus ending up being unfortunately soaked and sticky, according to the website, All Recipes.
2. Put In an Airtight Container
Regardless of whether you like your cookies crunchy or soft, make sure that they are put in a clean and airtight container. It makes them seal in their texture, as a result, they do not absorb any external moisture or kitchen odours.

3. Separate or Isolate Soft and Crispy Cookies
Do not keep soft cookies and crispy ones in the same place. Wet cookies may make dry cookies soft. They should be kept in different containers to preserve their original textures.
4. Use Parchment or Butter Paper
When you are layering cookies in a jar or a box, make sure to lay a sheet of parchment or butter paper between the piles. This prevents them from coagulating to form lumps and makes them maintain their shape.
5. Add a Piece of Bread (Soft Cookies)
This kitchen tipwill come in handy when storing soft cookies. Put a slice of plain bread in the container. As per Martin Phillip, the excess moisture is absorbed by the bread, which makes your cookies stay moist and fresh for days. Further, homemade cookies should be left to dry up for a long time.
So, there you have it! Simple storage suggestions and you would be able to relish your little sweet goodies just like how you have made them fresh, tasty, and the best with your evening chai.
