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.”
How to Package Cake Mix Cookies for Gifts

Can you make these cookies with a glutton free cake mix?
Heidi says
I honestly have not tried, but if you do, please let me know how it turns out!
Carolyn Rhinehart says
I love to make cake mix cookies, and I have come upon what now is my favorite: Use BUTTER PECAN cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup white melting wafers or chips, and 1 cup dried cranberries. Mix and drop by teaspoonful and bake in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. You will find that the butter pecan cake mix makes fantastic cookies!
Heidi says
That sounds absolutely delicious, Carolyn… thanks so much for sharing this fabulous cake mix cookie recipe!
lori says
Is there a book to buy with all of these cake cookie recipes?
Windy says
I would also like to know if there is a book with all of the cake cookies recipes out there? It would make a nice shower gift for a bride to be.

Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear that, Sue! Each of these cookie recipes really are so simple to make, and always a hit at the parties! Have fun baking!
Ginny says
I made the chocolate chocolate chip ones today. I added a cup of chopped walnuts…OMG!! So rich and fudgy!! I have made brownie mix cookies before, but never a cake mix cookie. I may never make cookies any other way again! Delicious! The batter was very thick and sticky, I was afraid they wouldn’t spread so I patted them down a tad with the back of a rubber spatula. My cookies were on the large side so I cooked them a couple of minutes longer than stated.
Heidi says
So glad you liked them, Ginny! Cake Mix Cookies are definitely delicious… and the flavor combinations and mix ins really are endless! 😉
christine says
These cookies are all amazing and everyone loves them. I have a question though. Can the mix be done the night before and refrigirated over night, and be cooked in the morning? I usually just make the day before, but this time it will be 2 days before I need them. Will they still be fresh?
Thanks!

Surprised i didnt see red velvet ones…guessing that would be a box of RV cake mix, 2 eggs , 1/2 c oil and 1 c white chips??
Heidi says
I actually make my Red Velvet Cookies with butter rather than oil… they seem to set up a bit differently. Here’s a link to the recipe:
