How to Store Shortbread Cookies
- 1). Cool cookies completely after baking. If the cookies are placed in an airtight container while they are still warm, they will become soggy.
- 2). Line an airtight container with wax paper.
- 3). Place the cooled cookies in a single layer along the wax paper in the container. If you must use several layers to accommodate all of your cookies, place a layer of wax paper between each layer of cookies.
- 4). Write the date the cookies were stored on a label with a marker and place the label on the outside of the airtight container. Place the airtight container in a spot where it will remain at room temperature.
- 5). Remove the cookies from the airtight container after they have been at room temperature for a week. If you want to freeze them, wrap the cookies in foil and then wrap them again. The cookies need not be wrapped individually; you can wrap several together in a manageable bunch.
- 6). Write the date that the cookies were wrapped in foil on a label with a marker. Place the label on each bunch of cookies.
- 7). Place the cookies in the freezer. Consume them within three to four weeks of freezing.
