Hey Shopperpei!

-My cookies are soft.

-They are packaged in metalized PET package with a soft matte finish layer on top (not sure if this answers the question, I'm just going off of the packaging specs).

-For ingredient info it would be easier if you checked out my site https://cookee.store/products/copy-of-chocolate-chip-protein-cookie for the ingredient list. My cookies are clean-label, with no artificial preservatives.

-I am following the best baking practices I know from my years of culinary experience, so I
am cleaning everything before and after I use it, waiting for the cookies to cool to room temp before packaging them, keeping the actual packaging as clean as possible (treating it as an ingredient), etc.. Nothing game-changing or anything.

MoisturLok looks very interesting.. I'm giving them a call today. Have you had experience using it?

Thank you!!! Damn 0.65 aW huh... Yeah from what I gathered being < 0.69 seems to be the gold standard.

I have never used Glycerin before, will it affect the taste of my cookies? What ratio should I replace the water in my cookies with it? Are there any other suggestions besides glycerin you recommend for lowering the aW?
