These cookies will last for about 2 weeks. You want to make sure that these cookies are stored in an airtight container and are protected from the air. If it is very humid the cookies will not last as long.
Why are my cookies hard and dry?
There could be a few reasons why your Christmas funfetti crumble cookies are hard and dry. One reason might be that you didn’t bake them long enough. Another possibility is that you didn’t use enough sugar or butter. Finally, it’s possible that your oven might not be calibrated correctly, which could lead to your cookies being over- or under-cooked.
