Expiration & Storage Tips
When does No Bake Cookies expire?
No Bake Cookies are hearty and delicious treats that can last for impressive lengths when stored appropriately. Once made, they can be kept at room temperature for up to one week. If refrigerated, they can last up to 2-3 weeks provided they're stored in a cool and dry region of the refrigerator. If you want to make them last even longer, you can freeze No Bake Cookies and they can last for up to 2-3 months.
How do you tell if No Bake Cookies is bad?
Telling if No Bake Cookies have gone bad isn't too tricky. The first sign would be a significant change in taste; they may become either extremely sweet or extremely bland. Furthermore, another indication of spoiled cookies is the development of mold. Mold on cookies tends to be visually noticeable and may alter the cookie's texture, making it feel unnaturally soft or slimy to the touch.
Tips for storing No Bake Cookies to extend shelf life
• Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziplock bag to keep moisture out.
• If you've made a big batch, consider freezing half for later. Use wax paper to separate layers, preventing cookies from sticking together.
• Keep cookies away from strong-smelling foods. Cookies are porous and can absorb the flavors of whatever they're stored with.
• Never store cookies while they are still hot, as this can create condensation and soften the cookies.
