Decorating Your Themed Cookies

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Disney Themed Cookies

Store your decorated themed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, place them between layers of parchment paper and keep them in the refrigerator. Avoid stacking cookies without a protective layer to prevent smudging the icing. For quick and easy cooling or chilling, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to help cool treats rapidly.
