Many sandwich cookies will work if you think the cookies will be eaten within a few days, but avoid cream fillings or anything that would normally need to be refrigerated. Avoid icings, although Royal icing will hold up fine. When you are thinking about the type of cookies to put into a cookie jar, think about drop cookies, sugar cookies, and shortbreads. What’s more, the plastic bag can be scrunched (within reason) to fit into almost any size cookie jar opening. Whenever you reach in for a cookie, it’s an easy step to open the bag and close it back up to keep those cookies fresh. Just put the cookies in a zip-style plastic bag, seal it up, and put the bag in the jar. If, however, you are using an older model cookie jar, the answer is quite simple. If you have one of those, just insert your cooled cookies and make sure the seal is tightly closed. Modern cookie jars, while not always as kitschy and over the top fun as some of the older models, are more likely to have an inner seal. If we have anything to do with it, cookie jars will stage a bit of a comeback this year! After all, a great way to make your guests (and your family) feel right at home is to set out a display of cookies that says, “Help yourself.”
How do I safely store cookies in a cookie jar, especially if it doesn’t have a good seal? And how long will they stay fresh?
