You people are all wacky. Thanks for the hints. Didn't know about the apple or the bread slices.

(Just for the record...putting them in the back of my truck...eliminates entirely the need for apples or bread slices. This is a rough economy Aileen...we have to be thinking conservation here).

Fast reply - How does putting a couple of slices of bread or apple in the container help exactly? I have not heard of this method before.

When i use to bake cookies in that quanity, i use to lay them single layers inbetween wax paper in a big dress box. Then put into the freezer until time to give away. Also by doing that it kept me from eating them constantly) beat your house smells great.:)

quote: ORIGINAL: Aileen1968 Today is Christmas cookie baking day and I have yet to solve the problem of how do you store 25 dozen various cookies so that they don't go stale, break or flatten each other. Right now I'm putting them in large catering tins with wax paper to seperate the layers. But they always wind up squished and hard. [&:] Suggestions as to what works for you all please. Bigger tins or boxes filled with plain air popped popcorn keeps them super fresh and Unsquished! Works really well for shipping them also.

Put them on cookie sheets and freeze them before you put them into storage containers. This way they will not be crushed by the wieght of the other cookies. Someone may have suggest this already, I did not read all the responses before I answered this

As far as I know, and that might not be far at all, the apple gives up moisture into the surrounding air slowly, that is why they get wrinkly if you store apples for a long time. Now, if the "applemoisture" is released slowly in an closed container, it keeps the cookies from drying out. That is my theory at last. However, from practical expirience I know that the apple thing works.
