No it doesn’t get toxic in cookies. The reason why it gets toxic (or hazardous) after 24 hours is that CC has lots of nutrients and hay, you add water, it becomes a feast for bacteria and other microorganisms, for example yeast and mold spores. It’s like when you grow stuff in a petri dish – the wet CC functions as a nutritious growing-medium. Most adult people understands this, esp if they’ve had taken care of a baby, because you’d never pre-mix formula and let it sit for 24 h and then feed it to the baby,- but, for example, very young people might not have that knowledge.

The environment is not the same in the cookies if you bake them or dry them thouroughly. But if the cookies are moist, stuff will start to grow, although slower than in wet CC. Again this is sth most adult people knows without having to think twice.

An opened sachet of dry CC kan be kept in a freezer for 3-6 months or so, and after that time, it’s just the nutritional value that has deteriorated, the CC hasn’t become toxic.

If anything, you keeping them in the fridge would be tolerable for extended hours, but not beyond 24hrs I’d say, just to be safe. When Wick was on critical care, it was fine to have a mix in the morning and refrigerate any remainder for a couple hours until the evening feeding… never keeping it for longer though.

Also, I assume you’ll mention in your update if there were complications, but a standard dental grinding (if it was the molars) shouldn’t require too much post-op care from my experience. Wick has had three and bounces back pretty much right after we get home.

{{{Luke}}} I hope you see the dental trim resolve the issues he’s been having.

If you’d like the CC cookies to remain a bit soft, could you freeze them?
