To refrigerate or not to refrigerate. That is the question.
At least in this thread, I’m talking about baked goods.
There is always a difference of opinion regarding refrigeration of baked goods in our home. SO wants to refrigerate everything while I’m more selective. When she bakes, I don’t argue with her and we end up with refrigerator and freezers stuffed to the gills with cookies, muffins, and cakes. Prime example are her anise cookies and pizzelles. I would keep them at room temperature. She won’t.
I see no reason to refrigerate cookies of any kind, assuming they are not sandwiched with ice cream. Also, no chills for cakes with normal frostings, quick breads, muffins, fruit pies and similar.
I do refrigerate any custard-based desserts such as cheesecake, cream pies, lemon meringue, etc.
So I’m asking, what types of baked goods you refrigerate and which you keep at room temperature.
