How to Keep Your Cookies Fresh When Ordering Online

Ordering cookies online is a great way to enjoy fresh, homemade treats no matter where you are. But to make sure your cookies arrive in perfect condition and stay fresh after delivery, here are some important tips!

1. Choose the Right Shipping Option

If you’re ordering cookies for a special occasion or just want them as fresh as possible, consider:

✔ Faster Shipping – The quicker cookies arrive, the fresher they’ll be. If possible, choose express or priority shipping.

✔ Check the Shipping Schedule – Some bakeries (like ours!) ship on specific days to ensure cookies don’t sit in transit over the weekend.

✔ Order in Advance – If you need cookies for an event, order early so they arrive on time!

2. Unbox Your Cookies Immediately

Once your cookies arrive:

✔ Open the package right away to release any trapped heat or moisture.

✔ Check for damage – While we pack cookies carefully, let us know if anything looks off.

✔ Smell and feel – If cookies seem extra soft or slightly warm, let them cool before storing them.

3. How to Store Your Cookies After Delivery

Depending on how soon you plan to eat them, here’s the best way to keep them fresh:

🔹 Eating Within a Few Days? Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Adding a slice of bread can help keep them soft!

🔹 Saving for Later? Freeze your cookies! Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, place them in a freezer bag, and thaw at room temperature when ready to eat.

🔹 Need to Reheat? Pop cookies in the microwave for 5-10 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for 3-5 minutes to bring back that fresh-baked taste.

4. Special Care for Different Types of Cookies

✔ Soft & Chewy Cookies – Store in an airtight container to retain moisture.

✔ Crispy Cookies – Keep in a loosely covered container so they don’t get soft.

✔ Frosted or Filled Cookies – Store in a single layer to prevent smudging. If needed, refrigerate to keep fillings fresh.

5. Traveling with Cookies? Here’s How to Pack Them!

Taking your cookies on the go? Pack them carefully to avoid breakage:

✔ Use a sturdy container with parchment paper between layers.

✔ If shipping cookies as a gift, choose a bakery (like ours!) that packs them securely.

✔ Avoid keeping cookies in direct heat or sunlight (like in a hot car).
