Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Almond Cookies expire?
Almond cookies typically last up to 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature if they are unopened and stored in a cool, dry place. Once the package is opened, their freshness can decrease and they are usually good for about 1 week. If they are homemade, they also last around 1 week when stored properly. Storing almond cookies in the freezer extends their life to about 2 months. Remember to freeze them in an airtight container to avoid freezer burn.
How do you tell if Almond Cookies is bad?
If almond cookies have gone bad, they might develop an off smell or taste that is clearly not the sweet almond flavor you're used to. They may also become very hard and/or dry. Another sign is if you see any mold growth, which might appear as green, white or blue fuzzy patches.
Tips for storing Almond Cookies to extend shelf life
• Keep almond cookies in an airtight container to preserve their freshness.
• If you have to store them in the fridge, wrap them in foil or put them in a zip-top bag first, and then place them in an airtight container to avoid them drying out.
• For prolonged life, freeze almond cookies in layers separated by parchment paper in an airtight container.
• Try to avoid storing cookies with other types of cookies as they can absorb the flavors of each other.
