How to Keep Cookies Fresh After Baking

On the rare occasion that your fresh baked cookies made from cake mix 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

There are SO many fun ways to give these 5 ingredient cookies as gifts!

Here are some pretty packaging ideas…

• Stack baked cookies in wide mouth mason jars.
• Add cookies to a cellophane bag, then tie with a pretty ribbon.
• Load cookies into a festive decorated cookie tin.
• Fill small brown kraft boxes with cookies.
• Give cookie mixes in wide mouth jars as fun Cookie Mix in a Jar gifts!
