Storage Tips
I want to keep my Blueberry Lemon Drizzle Cookies fresh and tasty! Let me share some tips. 🍪✨
Short-term storage:
I use an airtight container to keep the cookies fresh at room temperature. They stay delicious for up to 5 days! Make sure there’s no air in the container to keep the cookies soft.
Long-term storage:
If I want to keep them longer, I freeze the cookies. First, I let them cool completely. Then, I put them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. In the freezer, they stay good for up to 3 months! ❄️
When I’m ready to eat them, I simply let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Sometimes, I’ll warm them in the oven at a low temperature for that fresh-baked feel. 🔥
If you’re like me and enjoy sharing treats with friends, try separating layers of cookies with parchment paper. This keeps them from sticking together.
I like adding a small piece of white bread in the container to help the cookies stay soft. Surprising trick, right? 🍞
These simple steps keep my cookies fresh and delicious for whenever I have a craving or want to share with loved ones! Enjoy your baking adventures! 🧑🍳💕
