Enjoy the delightful crunch and nutty flavor of homemade or store-bought almond cookies. These sweet treats are best savored when stored properly to maintain their crisp texture and delicious taste.
Storage Time
Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness. Almond cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Temperature
Ideal pantry storage is at a cool, dry room temperature, around 18-22°C (65-72°F). Refrigeration is an option for longer shelf life.
Freezing
To freeze almond cookies, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Thaw frozen cookies by transferring them to the refrigerator overnight or by leaving them at room temperature for a few hours. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making them a bit softer upon thawing.
Signs of Spoilage
- Development of a stale, soft, or chewy texture instead of crispness.
- Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
- An off, rancid, or sour smell indicating spoilage.
