Cooking Tips: Cookie storage

If you live in a dry climate, store crisp cookies in a loosely covered container. If you live in a humid climate, store crisp cookies in an airtight container.

Cookies with a high butterfat content will usually stay fresh for a week or longer in a tightly covered container.

Empty coffee cans make perfect storage (or transporting) containers for cookies. However, store fragile cookies in a shallow tin instead of a deep cookie jar or crock, as the extra weight will break the delicate treats.
