: : I am thinking of expanding my cookie business and entering mail order cookies. However my problem is keeping the quality of freshly baked cookies longer than 2 days, after which they usually start getting crunchy. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
: If airtight they can't dry out. A tin will do that plus protect them from UPS throwing everything around. I wouldn't play around with the formulas because they might tend to become gooey.
Welcome to sunny Florida where brandy snaps turn into mush balls in a matter of minutes. Don't even talk to me about tuiles. I have customers call me and ask me to make meringue shells for them because theirs won't turn out. Mine won't either, not in the summertime. Gerard, any advice for regulating temperature and humidity during storage and prep? Or should I just give up? I always appreciate your sound advice.
