storage tips & leftovers

Everyone thinks the traditional cookie jar is the best way to store cookies without any thought, but that isn’t really true. Here are some tips to keep your cookies fresh and delicious for days:

Short-term storage (3-4 days):

Cool completely: Let your cookies cool completely before storing them.
Airtight container: Store them in an airtight container, like a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
Room temperature: Keep the container at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

Longer-term storage (up to 2 weeks):

Refrigeration: For longer freshness, store your cookies in the refrigerator.
Airtight container: Use the same airtight container method as for room temperature storage.
Freezing: For even longer storage, freeze your cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Thawing: To thaw, place the cookies on a wire rack at room temperature.

Additional tips:

Separate layers: To prevent cookies from sticking together, place parchment paper between layers.
Avoid moisture: Moisture is the enemy of cookies. Keep them away from humid environments.
Revive stale cookies: If your cookies start to get stale, you can revive them by heating them in a low-temperature oven for a few minutes.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your homemade cookies for days or even weeks.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups milk cold
3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
2-3/4 cups whipped topping divided
4.67 ounces mint andes candies chopped, divided
1 chocolate pie crust 9 inches (make your own with smashed oreos)
¼ teaspoons mint extract
2 drops green food coloring optional

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the milk and pudding mix for about 2 minutes. Let it stand for a few minutes or until it is soft-set. Next, fold in 3/4 cup whipped topping. Then fold in 3/4 cup of the Andes candies.
Spoon the blended pudding mix into your crust.
In another bowl, combine the mint extract and the remaining whipped topping. Add some food color if you’d like, it's completely optional. Spread the mint topping over the pudding layer and then sprinkle with remaining candies.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. We usually allow it to solidify overnight – plus it tastes better and better the longer the flavors can meld.
