Holiday Cookie Storage in the Pantry
Proper storage of baked goods keeps gingerbread cookies fresh and crisp throughout the holiday season. Storing star-shaped treats inside a clear glass jar on a pantry shelf protects them from air and moisture. Children often help in the kitchen by organizing baked cookies into containers once the treats have fully cooled from the oven.
Interesting Facts About Cookie Preservation and Jars
Glass jars became popular for food storage in the nineteenth century because glass does not react with foods or alter flavors. Gingerbread cookies stay firm longer than soft cookies because their high sugar content and low moisture level inhibit staling. Air-tight seals prevent crisp cookies from absorbing ambient humidity, which would otherwise make them soft and soggy.
