No, they're very good.

But no, chocolate chip cookies, because you want them soft, right?

And you want them a little warm.

I mean, the real joy of it is within a few hours so that they keep that texture.

But otherwise, I think most cookies keep pretty well and cookies with spices and cookies that have chocolate in them get better because their flavors settle.

And so if you're looking for cookies to that get better after day two, day three, find like a spice cookie, like a snickerdoodle, for example, that would have, you know, some nutmeg in it or gingerbread, of course, keeps gingerbread keeps like a month.

It really does because there's so many spices in there.

So you put them in as long as you store them properly airtight, they're going to last.

That you really want an airtight container with layers of parchment in between the cookies.

So you get, I actually have a few of these.

I have these big airtight containers.

You do one layer of cookies.

You make sure that they are not overlapping.

You want them flat in the container.

And then you take some parchment paper, lay it on top and then do another layer.

You really need a lot of freezer space because the containers are big, but they freeze perfectly.

They really do.

The cookies that freeze well, if you freeze them like that,

I think most cookies really do freeze pretty well.

I mean, not meringues.
