Expert Q&A

How long will cookies, fudge and candies stay fresh in tins?
Well, it depends on how you pack them in tins. If you plan on sending them, I would store them in zipper-type bags first, THEN put them in tissue to make the packaging look nice.
Most freshly baked cookies will last five days. Of course, around here, we never have that problem! They never last past the first two days!
