This applies to any cookie. After they are baked and in what ever container. I always place a piece of bread in the container. It will keep the cookies soft and chewy. Even if they have gotten hard. they will soften back up. When shipping I always place a slice of bread in the container. The bread gets hard but the cookies stay soft. Good luck

Soft Chocolate Cookies

1/4 c. + 1T oleo or butter
5 ounces of baking chocolate

melt together and mix well. Add 2 c. sugar and 1 egg, mix well.

Sift together
2 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt.

Add to chocolate mix, add 1/4 to 1/2 c. water if needed to mix in.
Chill dough 30 minutes in fridge. DO NOT exceed 30 minutes, dough will get too hard.

Roll into good size balls, dip tops in sugar if desired, bake at 300 degrees for 15-18 minutes.

These spread a little, but not too much. They will be soft when you take them out of the oven, let them set up and cool before removing from cookie sheet.

These are very chocolaty rich, and moist like brownies.
