How do I best store cookies?
Most cookies are best stored in an airtight container and usually last about a week.
Cookie jars are fine if you plan to eat your cookies within a couple of days, but they usually dry out quickly in a jar.
For best results I suggest a tupperware type container with an airtight lid.
