Kapanlagi.com - The Idul Fitri holiday is always associated with a variety of mouth-watering dishes, and one of the most awaited is Lebaran cookies! From sweet nastar, savory kastengel, crispy lidah kucing, to soft putri salju, all these cookies surely adorn the guest table and become the favorite treat during Lebaran.

However, there is one challenge that is often faced: these delicious cookies can quickly become soggy if not stored properly. To ensure that Lebaran cookies remain fresh and tasty even after being stored for a few days, it is important to know the right storage methods.

Kapanlagi.com has some effective tips to keep your Lebaran cookies crispy and of high quality. These tips can be applied to all types of Lebaran cookies, whether made from wheat flour, cheese, or nuts.

By following this guide, you can ensure that your Lebaran cookies stay in the best condition throughout the Lebaran celebration. Let's check out the tips and enjoy the deliciousness of Lebaran cookies without worry!

1. Make Sure the Cookies Are Perfectly Baked

Before storing delicious Eid cookies, ensure that your cookies are perfectly baked and dry without any moisture left. Cookies that are not fully cooked, especially in the middle, risk becoming soft quickly and losing their crunchiness.

Therefore, bake the cookies at a low and even heat so that every corner is perfectly dry.

After baking, let the cookies cool completely, as placing hot cookies into a storage container will only make them soggy due to steam.

This tip is also mentioned by Ena Lubis in her book, Popular Cookies, which emphasizes the importance of cooling cookies before storing them.

2. Use an Airtight Container

To ensure that the Eid cookies remain crispy and last longer, store them in an airtight container, such as a plastic jar with a tight lid.

Make sure the container used is dry and clean, as moisture or remnants of previous cookies can ruin the quality of the new cookies.

If you do not have an airtight jar, a ziplock bag that can seal out air can also be a practical solution.

In this way, the crunchiness of the cookies will be preserved and protected from moisture that can make them soft quickly.

3. Keep the Cake Away from Air

Air turns out to be the main enemy of delicious dry cakes, making them quickly go soft! According to an article from Detik, it is important for us to always tightly close the storage container for Lebaran cakes after use.

Cakes that are left open or exposed to free air will lose their crispness and become soft in no time. This applies to all types of dry cakes, whether they are made with cheese, nuts, or chocolate.

So, to maintain the quality and deliciousness of your favorite cakes, make sure to store them in a container that is completely sealed and away from direct exposure to air!

4. Store Cakes in a Cool Condition

Storing Lebaran cakes in the refrigerator may sound unusual, but if you want those cakes to stay fresh and delicious, this method is worth trying!

Simply wrap the cakes in aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator, and your cake's shelf life will increase. When the cakes start to lose their crispness after a few days, you can warm them up in the oven for a moment to restore their crispy texture.

This is a simple trick that can keep the quality of your Lebaran cakes special for a longer time!

5. Use Silica Gel to Maintain Freshness

One of the hidden secrets to keeping cookies crispy and lasting longer is by adding silica gel to the storage container. This little one that can absorb moisture will ensure your cookies stay dry and delicious for a longer time.

Don’t have silica gel? No worries! You can use salt as an alternative. Just wrap the salt in a clean cloth and place it in the jar with your dry cookies.

With this simple yet effective method, your favorite cookies will be protected from moisture and won’t get soggy quickly!
