    Default Homemade Cookies Turning "Hard"

    I made a batch of cookies last weekend and my dad mentioned a great tip to me. If your cookies start going a bit hard, put a heal of bread (or two) in with them and they will soften up.

    I've actually tried this, and darn it all, it worked!

    we automatically throw a slice of bread in the container to keep them fresh until we deliver them...neato.

    You can also zap them in the micro as you use them. Fresh and hot all over again, gotta love that!

    This is also a way to keep your brown sugar soft.
    I keep my brown sugar stored in a mason jar and just tear off a piece of bread and cram it into the top before I screw on the lid.
    Works like a charm.
