Now, you might be thinking, "What's the big deal about humidity?" Well, let me tell you, it's like the ultimate cookie killer. If your cookies are exposed to too much moisture, they'll become soft and chewy... and not in a good way. But, if you keep them in a dry environment, they'll stay fresh and soft for longer.
Another secret ingredient to keeping your cookies soft is iyas, or "in- between-aisles" storage. Okay, I made that up, but seriously, storing them in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard is key. Just don't store them next to the onions or garlic, or you might just end up with garlic-flavored cookies - and that's just traumatic.
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that cookies can absorb odors like a sponge? It's true! If you store them near something smelly, they'll soak up that smell like it's their job. So, keep them away from the fish market, or you might just end up with salmon-flavored cookies - and that's just not right.
