Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Crinkle Cookies expire?
Crinkle cookies are good to eat for about 2 weeks at room temperature when stored properly. If they are unopened and still in their original packaging, they can often last slightly longer, typically until the 'Best By' date printed on the package. If homemade, they'll typically last about the same length if stored in airtight conditions. Crinkle cookies can also be frozen for up to 4 months and should be defrosted at room temperature.
How do you tell if Crinkle Cookies is bad?
If your crinkle cookies have gone bad, they will typically feel overly hard and dry, not soft as they should be. When bitten into, they will lack flavor and the texture will be off. If you see visible signs of mold growth, discard them immediately.
Tips for storing Crinkle Cookies to extend shelf life
• Always store your crinkle cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.• Place a half slice of bread in the cookie container. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread, preventing them from getting stale.• If freezing the cookies, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent cookies from sticking together.• Do not store cookies in the refrigerator as it can make them go stale faster.
