How to Keep Your California Sweets Cookies Fresh 🍪✨

We know how hard it is to resist eating cookies right away (we’ve been there too 😉). But if you’re saving some of your California Sweets cookies for later, here are a few simple tips to keep them tasting just as fresh and delicious as the moment you picked them up:

🍪 1. Let Them Cool First

If your cookies are still a little warm, let them cool completely before sealing them up. Warm cookies in a container can create steam, making them soft or soggy.

🍞 2. Add a Slice of Bread for Soft Cookies

Want to keep your cookies soft and chewy? Store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread will dry out first, leaving your cookies perfectly soft.

🥠 3. Store Crunchy Cookies Differently

If you picked up crunchy cookies, don’t use an airtight container. Instead, keep them loosely covered so they stay crisp and don’t lose their crunch.

🎉 4. Keep Flavors Separate

If you bought a mix (like chocolate chip, lemon, and peanut butter), store each flavor in its own container. That way, the flavors won’t blend together.

❄️ 5. Freeze to Make Them Last

Need to save cookies for later? Cookies freeze really well! Just pop them into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temp—or warm them in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.

🚫 6. Skip the Fridge

The fridge might seem like a good idea, but it actually dries cookies out. Stick to room temperature or the freezer for the best results.
