Hello CC

I have seen so many great cookie designs and wanted to do something for the holidays. I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies as a sample run. They were great the first day but after that they seem to have gotten hard.

So you see my problem here if I made the cookies and wanted to hand them out as gifts how do I keep them from becoming a tooth breaker. I am trying to figure out how the people in the store keep them so soft and moist when you buy them.

Help Help please !!!!!!!!!!!

Did you store them in an airtight container? Some recipes give a crisp texture, some give chewy. Then, you can overbake, which leads to a hard cookie.
