Dry cakes tend to last longer than wet cakes. However, that doesn't mean that dry cakes can't experience a decline in quality. Cookies that are not stored properly may no longer be crispy, moldy or damaged, you know. Here's how to store dry cakes so they last longer.

1. Don't leave it open.

Make sure the cake container or jar is always tightly closed after use to prevent air from entering and making the cake damp.

2. Avoid high temperatures.

Store cookies in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources or direct sunlight. A stable room temperature will help the cake stay fresh longer.

3. Use parchment paper.

Place a sheet of parchment paper between the layers of cookies in the jar to absorb moisture and prevent the cookies from getting soggy.

4. Separate cakes by type.

If you store different types of cookies in one container or jar, make sure to separate each type using a small container or parchment paper to prevent mixing of aromas and textures.

5. Check regularly.

Check cookies regularly to ensure there are no signs of moisture or damage. If any cake looks unfresh or contaminated, throw it away immediately to prevent it spreading to other cakes.

6. Special storage.

Some types of cookies may require special attention in storage. For example, chocolate-covered cookies may need to be stored in a cooler place to prevent the chocolate from melting.
