How to Store Baked Goods So They Stay Fresh Longer
There’s nothing better than a freshly baked cookie, a soft piece of cake, or a crunchy puff straight out of the oven. But what happens when you want to keep that goodness going for days? At Crunchy Connection, we believe that freshness is part of the joy — and with the right storage tricks, you can keep your baked treats just as delicious as the day they were made.1. Know Your GoodiesNot all baked goods are the same. Cookies, cakes, laddus, and brownies each have different textures and storage needs. Dry treats like biscuits or biscotti keep well at room temperature, while moist items like cakes or laddus need a little extra care.2. Airtight Is EverythingAir is the enemy of freshness. Use airtight containers or jars to lock in moisture for soft goods, or to keep crisp treats from going stale.Pro Tip: Store cookies separately by type — crunchy with crunchy, chewy with chewy — to keep textures intact.3.
