Try as you may, but fresh, crispy cookies will turn soggy after a while. This typically occurs one or two days after baking fresh cookies. But what if we tell you that you can prolong the shelf-life of your cookies rather easily. Keep reading, stay attentive, and let's keep our cookie tasting as crisp and fresh as possible.
1. Cool cookies before storing them
Don't rush the cooling phase because baking cookies requires a lot of work. Before storing cookies, they must be absolutely cool to the touch. Otherwise, condensation will be produced by the trapped heat, ruining your cookies in the end.

7. Use the right container
You must keep air out of the container to keep the cookies fresh. Because of this, we advise keeping cookies in an airtight container. Make sure nothing obstructs the container's lid and seal, and make sure the seal is
