How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness and flavor, store any remaining cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to excessive heat or moisture, which can cause the wafers to become soft and the creme to melt. Proper storage ensures they remain a delicious snack for future enjoyment.
