Storage Time
Store at room temperature for up to 3-5 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week for extended freshness. For long-term enjoyment, freeze for up to 3 months.
Temperature
Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (18-22°C) or refrigerate at 0-4°C.
Freezing
Oatmeal raisin cookies freeze exceptionally well. For optimal quality, wrap individual cookies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let them come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. You can also gently warm them in a low oven for a few minutes to revive their fresh-baked texture.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
- A stale, hard, or crumbly texture that deviates from the expected chewiness.
- An off or sour smell, indicating the development of unwanted bacteria or yeast.
