What is the Secret to Soft Cookies?

Really, there’s no secret, it’s all about the recipe, how long you bake the cookies, what amount of butter is in the recipe–oh, wait, so yeah, it is kind of a tricky thing sometimes.

But in all seriousness, you have to go into your cookies with a soft cookie in mind. Make sure your recipe isn’t calling itself “crispy”. That’s what’s kind of nice about these cookies. Like all good cookies, they are stable and don’t spread, but they have a soft chewy center.

How Do You Make Soft Cookies After Baking?

Oh, so, you didn’t have such great luck (following the recipe) with the cookies and now they’re kind of crisp? No sweat–don’t throw them away. They can be saved. Here are some of my favorite ways to get cookies to soften after they’ve been baked:

Microwave your cookies for 10 seconds with a damp paper towel.
Store your cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread.
Steam your cookies.

To me, the easiest way to keep your cookies moist and rescue hard cookies is to just store them overnight in an airtight container with a slice of bread. So simple, but works every time.
