Store biscuits and cookies properly

If you take the trouble to bake cookies or cookies yourself, you should make sure that they are stored correctly. Otherwise, the cookies will harden or lose their taste. That would be a shame and it can also be easily avoided.

  • Cookies and cookies are mostly made from shortcrust pastry or shortbread pastry. Both types of dough contain a lot of fat, but have the property of quickly becoming hard and dry when baked in the air.
  • The ideal storage for biscuits or cookies are actually airtight, sealable Tupperware jars. Because no air can get to the baked goods, the biscuits do not dry out as quickly and stay moist and pliable for a long time.
  • A conventional cookie jar is also not wrong. It doesn't seal the air as well as a Tupperware box, but it looks somehow nicer.

Special tricks for long freshness

  • Especially with shortcrust biscuits or shortbread cookies there is a simple but very effective trick on how to make the biscuits can keep them juicy, even if they are already a few days old: Simply put an apple wedge (with Peel). The apple gradually releases very little moisture. However, this will keep the cookies fresh for a long time.
  • If you are stacking several layers on top of each other and the biscuits are glazed, it is advisable to place cling film between each layer of biscuits as a separating layer. This will prevent the cookies from sticking together.
  • For shortcrust pastries without glaze, it is also advisable to place a layer of kitchen paper in the bottom of the biscuit or Tupperware jar and between each additional layer of biscuits. The paper towel collects excess fat.
