How to make your Whisked cookies last


There’s nothing better than a soft and gooey cookie fresh out of the oven. But keeping cookies fresh is a challenge - and something we spend a lot of time thinking about at Whisked!
To keep dry cookies fresh, follow these steps: 
*Make sure cookies cool completely before storing.
*
Store them at room temperature in an air-tight container, like Tupperware.
*
Store different flavors separately. Over time, strongly flavored cookies like molasses or mint will seep into other cookies, so if possible store each flavor in its own container.
*
If you have limited Tupperware containers, place each flavor in its own freezer bag and then place those bags in the container. That will help keep flavors separate while maximizing your storage space.
*
If storing cookies in layers, use parchment or wax paper to keep them separate.
Learn more of our best tips on storing cookies.
