"The only negative to buying baked goods from Costco could also be seen as a positive, depending on how you look at it, and that is the enormous quantity in which most Costco items are sold. Sure, it's economical, but watching two dozen Costco cookies slowly perish on your counter is no fun. Luckily, according to Reddit, there is a ways to save these sweet treats."
"If you've recently found yourself with a surplus of Costco cookies or you're a fan of a seasonal cookie and want to stock up (like the Marshmallow Crispy Cookie that had fans running to the store), Reddit is home to tips and tricks for making them last longer. One Reddit user shared, "Stick 'em in the freezer! They'll last months with no texture or flavor compromise.""
Costco sells bakery items in large quantities, making purchases economical but causing excess cookies to spoil if not stored. Freezing cookies in airtight containers preserves texture and flavor for months, with USDA guidance allowing frozen storage up to 12 months. Layering cookies between parchment or wax paper prevents sticking. Thawing at room temperature, brief microwave bursts, or a short air-fryer cycle reheats cookies effectively. Unfrozen cookies typically remain fine for about a week, depending on cookie type and purchase freshness. Humidity can affect storage life. Proper packaging before freezing reduces waste and lets bulk buys be enjoyed over time.
