Why do my biscuits go soggy when storing? (1 Viewer)

Biscuits can go soggy when storing for some of the following reasons.

If your biscuits contain fruits such as apricots or glacé cherries, they will also contain moisture, once sealed in a tin the moisture from the fruit seeps into the biscuit causing it to go soft.

Ensure cookies and biscuits are cold when placing in a tin if you put your biscuits away too soon after baking they may still contain heat, thus converting to moisture and making another soggy biscuit.

Never mix cake and cookies in the same tin, the moisture from the cake transfers to the cookies/biscuits causing them to go soft so always keep them separate.

Freshly baked biscuits are always best served on the day of baking, however, if you do have to store them at least now you know what will happen and why.
