How to Keep Cookies Fresh After Baking

On the rare occasion that your fresh baked cookies actually have a chance of lasting through the night, I’ve got a tip to pass along that will help make sure your cookies stay as fresh as possible!

Check out this simple tip from frugal friend James…

“To keep homemade cookies soft and fresh longer, my Aunt used to place completely cooled cookies in a cookie jar (or you could use an airtight container), and then just place a slice of fresh bread on top.

The bread will keep the cookies soft and fresh!

If there are still cookies left after a few days, you can toss the old dried out piece of bread with a new piece of bread!”

How EASY is that?!?

Renee writes: “This really does work. I have also used this when cookies are bit overdone. It softens them up and we don’t have to throw them out.”

Phyllis writes: “The bread really does work. I have used that for years. When I would send my boys in the Army cookies or brownies it worked great to keep them fresh until the boys got them.”
