Notes

How to Store & Reheat Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. I prefer to place them in a place in the kitchen that isn’t too warm such as a pantry or cabinet.

How long will chewy oatmeal raisin cookies last?

They will last up to one week when stored properly at room temperature.

Can I freeze oatmeal raisin chewy cookies?

Yes, you can. Baked cookies freeze well as long as they are in a well-sealed container. Store them for up to three months.
You can also freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to three months. Scoop them out on a lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to the container. When you’re ready to bake cookies, pull out the frozen cookie dough balls and bake in the oven. You can cook them straight from frozen, just add a minute.
