Never store different kinds of cookies together in a container - limit one kind per container. If stored improperly, their flavors will mingle together and their distinct taste will be changed. Some cookies have more moisture and will make your crisp cookies limp and crumbly if stored together. After going to all the work to bake cookies, you want their flavors and textures to remain true and unchanged.

I've always been famous for my Christmas cookies at work. I love to try new recipes & my husband is looking forward to "cookie baking season". I usually make about 10 - 12 different kinds so I have a nice assortment to serve & give away.

I am 72 years old... I have neveer mixed a batch of cookie dough and baked in on the same day. Clean up is much easier if you mix about three or four different kinds of cookies on one day. put in plastic bags, and freeze, (well marked with instructions) Then on a day when you have a few free hours, take a bag out of the freezer, and roll out and cut; or drop cookies onto cookie sheets and bake them. I always have a few batches of rolled out Gingerbread cookie dough in my freezer, I roll it between two long pieces of plastic wrap.. then roll it up and place in 2 gallon zip lock freezer bags. We eat gingerbread cookies all year long. When you want to cut out the cookies, just let defrost for about 40 mins, and unroll the batch, remove the top plastic and cut them out.

I have over 50 cookie tins for storing holiday cookies... when i have made up all of my cookie trays and delivered them, I wash each container, and then i use my steam cleaner on them..so there won't be any contamination. let dry, cover and store till next year.
