Mint Cookie FAQ
Cooking with mint cookies involves being creative and inventive. Mint cookies are a indulgent ingredient to include in various desserts from milkshakes to cakes. Where people often go wrong is by not considering the powerful flavor of mint, which if misused could overpower other ingredients. Moderation is the key when using mint cookies. Another useful tip is to crush the cookies if you're using them as a base for your cheesecakes or to give them a crunchy texture. It's always beneficial to taste as you go, considering both the texture and flavor the mint cookies lend to your dessert.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does mint cookie expire?
Unopened, store-bought mint cookies can last around 2-3 weeks past the 'best by' date printed on the package. However, once opened, they are best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks for optimal freshness and taste. Homemade mint cookies have a slightly shorter lifespan, generally staying fresh for about 1 week if stored properly. If you choose to freeze the cookies, they can last up to 3 months.
How do you tell if mint cookie is bad?
Telling if your mint cookies have gone bad is straightforward. First, observe the cookies for any signs of mold or discoloration, which can indicate spoilage. Then, give them a sniff - if they have a stale or off smell, it’s best to discard them. Lastly, the taste and texture of the cookie can provide clues. If the cookies taste stale or have lost their minty flavor, or if the texture is overly hard or chewy, it's likely they are no longer fresh.
Tips for storing mint cookie to extend shelf life
• Always store your mint cookies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent them from becoming stale. • For store-bought cookies, remember to reseal the package after each use to keep the cookies fresh. • For homemade mint cookies, store them in an airtight container. You can also separate layers of cookies with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. • To freeze mint cookies, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a sealed freezer bag. To defrost, just leave them on the countertop for a couple of hours before serving. • Adding a slice of white bread to the cookie container can help prevent your cookies from drying out and becoming stale. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread, keeping them soft longer!
