So here’s your cheat sheet: opened dough in the fridge? Two to three weeks max, but aim for one. Unopened dough? Trust the date on the package. Freezer stash? Live your best life for six months. Always trust your nose and your eyes. And remember: a slightly older dough might still be safe, but it won’t taste like the promise of joy that made you buy it in the first place.
Life’s too short for bad cookies. So next time you find that forgotten tube, don’t gamble. Just bake them—even if they’re a little dry, warm them up, and add a scoop of ice cream. You deserve that moment of happiness. And now, you’ll never have to wonder again how long that Pillsbury dough will last. You’re welcome.
