Why are my shortbread cookies soft?

How to store homemade shortbread cookies?
To ensure your crafted-with-love cookies don’t succumb to moisture and lose their crispiness, storage is the key. Here’s the classic way: Let the cookies cool down completely, ideally on an elevated grid. Once cooled, transfer them to a metal biscuit box.
How to store glazed shortbread cookies?
Storing glazed cookies requires a tad more attention. Allow the cookies to cool, apply the glaze, then let them dry on an elevated grid. Get a metal biscuit box and line it with parchment paper. Lay down your glazed cookies and if stacking, separate each layer with parchment paper.
