Indulge in the delightful taste of homemade chocolate chip cookies! Properly stored, these classic treats can maintain their delicious texture and flavor for days, making them perfect for snacking or sharing.

Storage Time

3–4 days at room temperature, up to 1 week in the refrigerator, and 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18-22°C) for optimal texture, or refrigerate for extended freshness.

Freezing

To freeze chocolate chip cookies, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap individual cookies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. This prevents freezer burn and preserves their delightful chewiness. Thaw by leaving them at room temperature for a few hours or gently warming them in a low-temperature oven (around 150°C) for a few minutes.

Signs of Spoilage

• Mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy green, white, or black spots.
• A stale, hard, or crumbly texture that deviates significantly from its original chewiness.
• An off or sour smell, indicating bacterial or fungal activity.
