Our gourmet cookies have no preservatives, so we package them in very thick poly bags and seal them with minimal air inside the bag.  Exposure to air is what dries a cookie out.
We package most of the cookies in a second bag, and either an “All In One” Mailer Gift Box or a Gift Box inside a shipping box.  All our packaging comes with our signature crinkle paper, minimizing air and moisture in the box. They are packaged to be delicious and fresh when arriving after 1-3 days in transit. We recommend you eat your cookies within 2 days of receipt or freeze in their bags, up to 6 months. We package our cookies to be fresh up to 6 days from ship date.
If you were to buy in a retail store, not in a sealed bag, the cookies last 24 hours because of the air exposure. By sealing in a bag, the cookies  have a longer shelf life with no preservatives.
