How long do packaged cookies last?

When kept at room temperature, soft packaged cookies can last for one to two months if unopened and for seven to 10 days if opened and stored in an airtight bag or container. Hard packaged cookies can last for one to two months if unopened and two to three weeks if opened and stored properly at room temperature. Both types of cookies last for about four to five months in the freezer, whether opened or unopened.

What are some ways to use leftover cookies?

Crushed cookies make a delicious pie crust, especially for cream pies like Boston cream, vanilla cream, or peanut butter cream, and you can use them for a crumble topping on coffee cake or cupcakes. Cookie bits taste delicious in a milkshake or smoothie, and whole cookies create delicious ice cream sandwiches.

Do Danish butter cookies contain real butter?
