How to Store Homemade Cookies

These chocolate brownie cookies are nice and chewy. To keep them that way, you’ll want to follow my storage tips.

First, be sure to let the cookies cool to room temperature before storing them.

After that, transfer the cookies to a gallon-size plastic storage bag. To keep the chewy brownie cookies soft, I like to put a slice of bread in the bag with the cookies.

The moisture from the bread some humidity inside the bag that helps keep the moisture locked inside your chocolate brownie cookies.

It’s a tip that I learned from my mom!

I hope you love these wonderful cookies as much as my family has!
