How to store chipless cookies.
Once your cookies have fully cooled they can be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, chipless cookies should keep at room temperature for up to five days or frozen for up to a few months. You can help keep your cookies soft by adding a slice of bread to the room temperature airtight container.
