How long do they keep?
Movie Theater Cookies will keep for about 1 week if stored in an airtight container. We never have an issue with them lasting that long, they’re usually all eaten during whatever movie we are watching!

We love using Reynolds Kitchens Parchment Paper with Smartgrid anytime we are baking cookies. They help the cookies not to burn or stick, and also help us space them out evenly every time. Plus it’s reusable up to three times!
