Keep cookies longer

Let me start by saying I didn't bake ANY cookies this year. I made many pumpkin rolls, but no cookies. I will try to start again next year.

Anyway, I was reminded of the year I made about 12 varieties, one that was pumpkin. When I gave my dad his tin, the pumpkin cookies were growing mold. Eww. How do you know when to refrigerate cookies?

My advice is this: Put the cookies in a tin. Separate varieties by parchment or wax paper and add a piece of bread. The bread will suck some moisture out of the cookies and make them last a little longer.

Does it make chewy/soft cookies get hard and stale faster though?

Not from my experience.
