How long do fresh chocolate chip cookies last?
Stored in an air tight container, fresh chocolate chip cookies will last for 2-3 weeks. That is if your family does not eat them all on your first.
How to store these cookies
The best way to store these homemade cookies is in an airtight container at room temperature. To store the cookies, let them cool completely and then place one layer in an air tight container, layer a piece of parchment paper and another layer of cookies and continue until all the cookies are in the container.
If you notice the cookies are loosing moisture, add a piece of bread to the container and it will help keep the cookies soft and the moisture in the air tight container.
Tips for making the BEST Chocolate Chip cookies
Do NOT over bake the cookies. 16 minutes is the max amount of time that you want to cook the cookies in the oven. They will still look raw in the middle but the remanding heat from the cookie sheet will finish cooking them.
Measure Exacts. I know some may thing this goes with out saying but when you are baking chocolate chip cookies it is VERY important to be sure to follow the ingredient measurement exactly.
Don’t remove the cookies from the tray too quickly. I won’t lie it is totally tempting to want to enjoy a fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie as soon as you take them out of the oven. However those 5 minutes on the tray are needed for them to finish baking properly and give you the soft chocolate chip cookie you want and love.
Spider Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

- baking soda
- baking powder
- salt
- butter
- light brown sugar
- granulated white sugar
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- milk chocolate chips
How to Make Halloween Spider Cookies
In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt together in a medium bowl.
Beat your butter, brown sugar and sugar together with your electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add in the eggs and the vanilla just until combined.
Turn the speed down to low and carefully add in the flour mixture just until it is combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
With a small scoop, scoop out the dough and refrigerate for two hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Roll each scooped cookie in your hands so they are round and smooth.
Place them on a cookie sheet two inches apart. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, just until the edges start turning brown. (They will still look raw in the middle but the remanding heat from the cookie sheet will finish cooking them.) Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 to 10 minutes.
Melt the second half of the chocolate chips for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave making sure to stir in between to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Place the chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut off a very small piece of the end of one corner to create a piping bag. Where ever you see a chocolate chip showing on the cookie you will add three lines to two sides to create your spider. The chocolate chip will be the spider body and then you will be adding spider legs with the melted chocolate.
