how do i keep cookies from getting hard after baking?

Answer 1

When I bake cookies, I use Splenda instead of sugar. They turn out fluffier and don't harden as fast. My mother used to put a peice of white bread in with the cookies in an air tight container.

Good Luck! ;)

Answer 2

I prefer soft cookies so I am careful not to overbake them. You can try adding a touch more liquid or fat, but recipes are a chemistry so changing one thing can cause problems.

After baking allow the cookies to cool, then store them in an air-tight container. The air dries them out, especially if there is low humidity.

Answer 3

Place cookies in an airtight container with a piece of white bread and over night the cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread.

Answer 4

putting them in a gladware container with a slice of bread keeps them from drying out. the bread gives the cookies moisture, and then when the bread turns hard, put in a new slice.

Answer 5

If they aren't over baked just place them in an airtight container with a cracker....the cracker will prevent them from getting to moist and keep enough moisture in there to keep them from getting too hard.

Answer 6

Simple airtight storage helps.

How are you making your cookies ? Do you use shortening or butter in the recipe ? Next time make two batches, one with shortening/margarine and one with butter. Store as you normally would and see the difference.

Answer 7

Well just put them in an air tight container and they will be soft till you eat them. The oxygen in the air makes them hard
