Cookie Storage Tips
To keep your pumpkin cake mix cookies fresh and delicious, here are a few storage tips:
- Room Temperature: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days. Place a slice of bread in the container to help keep the cookies soft and prevent them from drying out.
- Refrigerator: If you need them to last a little longer, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. Allow the cookies to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- Freezing: For long-term storage, freeze the cookies! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2–3 months. Thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.
These methods will help you keep your cookies soft and full of flavor!
