Notes for Gingerbread Cookies Recipes:

1. If you want to use your cookies fresh, just arrange them on a platter in your kitchen or living room and enjoy for up to 5 days. Although they would probably last less than 1 day…

2. If you wish to save your cookies for later, just put them in a sealed container and save them for later. They will last like this for up to 1 month.

Tip: You can also use some royal icing to decorate your cookies if you desire!
