Few things are as disappointing as biting into a cookie that’s gone soft or lost its crunch. If you love stocking up on cookies — especially Atul Bakery’s 100% vegetarian cookies — knowing how to store them properly can make all the difference. With the right techniques, you can enjoy fresh, crunchy cookies for days after purchase.

1. Store in an Airtight Container

The most important step is to use an airtight container. This prevents air and moisture from getting in, keeping cookies crisp. Glass or metal tins with tight lids work best.

2. Keep Different Cookies Separate

If you’ve got multiple flavors — chocolate chip, butter, or almond — store them separately. Mixing them can cause flavors and textures to blend, affecting taste and freshness.

3. Add a Slice of Bread

Place a slice of fresh bread in the container. The bread absorbs moisture and helps cookies stay crunchy longer. Replace the bread slice every two days for best results.

4. Store at Room Temperature

Unless they contain cream or perishable fillings, cookies should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or humid spots, as they can make cookies soggy.

5. Freeze for Long-Term Storage

If you want to store cookies for more than a week, freezing is the way to go. Wrap cookies in parchment paper, place them in a freezer-safe container, and thaw at room temperature before serving.

Bonus Tip: Refresh in the Oven

If cookies lose their crunch, reheat them in an oven for 3–5 minutes at a low temperature (around 150°C). This restores their crisp texture.

Proper storage not only keeps your cookies crunchy but also helps preserve their delightful flavor. Whether you’re saving them for a party or just to enjoy with your evening tea, following these steps will ensure every bite tastes fresh and delicious.
