Our cookies do not contain any preservatives. Our cookies have a shelf life of 3-4 weeks if kept in their original packaging. We recommend enjoying the cookies within 1-2 weeks of receiving them.
05
How should I store my cookies once I receive them?
​
We recommend storing your cookies in a cool and dry place. The cookies could fade and should be kept out of direct sunlight. Heat and moisture can damage the cookies and the colors.
06
I just received my cookies, should I put them in the refrigerator?
​
Please don't! Most people think that the cookies will stay "fresher" if they place them in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, royal icing (which is what we use to decorate our cookies) doesn't respond well to condensation (this happens after you take your cookies out of the refrigerator).
If you'd like to keep your cookies fresh for longer than 2 weeks, we suggest placing them inside a sealed container (with original packaging) and then placing that container in the freezer.
Please note we have never tried to freeze our cookies so if you decide to freeze them, it is "at your own risk".

We use Royal Icing for all of our cookies. It dries smooth, the top layer crunchy and softer underneath. This icing keeps the cookies softer than other icings and won't melt in hot weather conditions.
