Common questions

How long do crispy biscuits (cookies) last?

The FoodKeeper database gives no fridge time for crispy biscuits (cookies); they are a cupboard food, good for 4–6 months. Ripe fruit and vegetables that are normally stored outside the fridge are the usual exception.

How can I tell if crispy biscuits (cookies) have gone off?

Fuzzy white, green or black spots mean mould. Its threads spread through soft, porous foods, so discard the whole item rather than cutting the spot out. Do not rely on this alone: the time guideline matters even when everything looks fine.

Can I freeze crispy biscuits (cookies) to keep them longer?

Yes. For best quality, freeze them for around 8–12 months; they stay safe beyond that because freezing halts bacterial growth, and only texture and flavour decline.

Where should I store crispy biscuits (cookies)?

In the cupboard, for around 4–6 months.
