Store cookie crusts in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can cause them to become soft. For pre-made crusts, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. You can freeze baked cookie crusts for longer storage; wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil or place in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before using.
