Anyone have a tried 'n true recipe for soft-baked cookies?

Not at the moment, but sounds delicious.

You can make any kind soft by banging the pan on a counter immediately after taking them out of the oven. This causes them to "fall". Then place them in a sealed container.

Replace the margerine with oil -I'm pretty sure it's 3/4s a cup of oil for a cup of marg. Remove from the oven while still soft, and store in an airtight container.

Bake them for a couple of minutes less than the recipe calls for.

Tis the season.

Ever have chocolate peanut butter chip cookies?

[milchig cookies made with butter rock-- but they're milchig]

I did that anyway as per recipe instructions..these are the yummy, crispy, crunchy, kind..I'm looking for biiiiig, fluffy, sooooooft ones..

I just read (Hamodia), that tying up your hard cookies in a bag with a fresh slice of bread is meant to soften them. If anyone tries this, let me know how it goes...

I have done this with brown sugar and it works to unlump it, but not with actual hard cookies.

So all those sof-bake cookie companies (you know the 'frum' brand that covers the real brand with a sticker on the package but they're amazing) first bang the pans when they come out of the oven, then place them in airtight containers with fresh bread and/or brown sugar?? There's got to be a recipe..there's gotta..(some very hungry yeshiva boys depending on this)

possibly

certainly

Preservatives? (ch"v)

I haven't made these in a while, but my husband liked them, and he prefers chewy chocolate chip cookies, so maybe it worked.

Beat 1/2 C. margarine until creamy.
Gradually add 6 TBSP. sugar, 6 TBSP. dark brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract. Beat in 1 egg.
Mix 1 C. + 2 TBSP. all-purpose flour with 1/2 tsp. baking soda, and add to margarine mixture. Beat at low speed duntil well blended.
Stir in 1 C. chocolate chips.

Grease 2 baking sheets, and place dough in small balls 2 inches apart. Bake 2 sheets at a time at 350. After 5 minutes, take out and bang on counter (like Ahavati said), return to oven switching the top and bottom sheets. Bake 5 more minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool immediately.

Alternatively, you can make blondies which are very easy to make soft, and cut into bars.
