That's gilding the lily.

Cheese on cheese.

Cheese on cheese.

Why not?

Add a little cayenne into the cheese straws because that little bit of spice that comes on the back end keeps them going back for more.

You know, I think that there's a variety of different factors of how cookies can keep.

Obviously, what you're storing them in.

Melissa brought the cookies in today in an airtight container.

Always suggest that.

If you're storing them in, like, a zip-top bag, for example, there is room for a lot of air to kind of get in there and steal your cookies out.

But ultimately...

It kind of just depends on the ratios of fat in the recipe a lot of the time.

Or if there's oats, for example, in a recipe, those are going to draw a lot of moisture out of your cookie.

I love a snickerdoodle cookie because the traditional snickerdoodle has cream of tartar in it.

Cream of tartar is this kind of acidic thing that honestly makes the cookies better and softer on day two or day three a lot of the time.

So I think that those types of cookies do keep really well.

You're like softer, chewier cookies, but also a shortbread if it's very snappy and, you know, tender, I think is a good cookie that will keep for a long time.

I have this brownie cookie recipe that also I think tastes better on day two or day three.

It's just if you're storing them correctly, you know, they're not going to stale as much.

You know, I learned this trick.
