4. Storage Tips for Swirl Cookies

Keep your Disney swirl cookies fresh by storing them properly

Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer preservation, place them in the fridge for up to a week. To maintain their vibrant swirl, avoid stacking cookies directly on each other; instead, layer them with parchment paper in between. For an extra touch of magic, dust with edible shimmer before serving.

How do I ensure the swirl pattern remains intact during baking?
