Short answer: About a week if you have self-control; up to 3 months if you’re a cookie hoarder.
The "Lawyer" answer: If you leave them on the counter, they’ll stay in peak "eat-me-now" condition for about 7 to 14 days. After that, they don’t necessarily "go bad," but they do start to lose their spark and get a little dry. They’re basically like us—they start getting a bit crusty if they’re left out in the elements for too long.
The "Cold Hard Truth": If you want to play the long game, toss them in the freezer. They can stay cryogenically frozen for up to 3 months.
The Butter Factor: Here’s why our cookies are elite: we use real butter, not that oil-based mystery stuff. Because of that high-quality fat content, our cookies don't dry out in the cold; they actually hold onto their moisture like a champ. Think of the freezer as a "beauty sleep" for your treats—they'll wake up just as soft as the day they were born.
Pro Tip: Give a frozen cookie a 10-second "spa treatment" in the microwave to bring back that "straight-from-the-oven" gooeyness. Just be sure to remove the cookie from the packaging before you do so.
