How to Keep Baked Goods Soft
When I was young we ALWAYS had homemade chocolate chip cookies in the house and I learned early on how to make killer chocolate chip cookies! My favorite recipe is on the back of the Nestle Toll House chocolate chips : http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/Original-NESTL%C3%89-TOLL-HOUSE-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/detail.aspx
When you bake cookies or brownies they always seem to stay fresh and soft for the first few days... but then quickly they turn hard (Wink.. Someone didn't close the lid all the way lol) and your hard work gets tossed in the trash.
***So to avoid that... My mother always used to place a slice of bread (the butt end works just fine) in the container with the baked goods. The piece of bread acts like a sponge and sucks up all the moisture that gets in the container and makes the bread hard and not your cookies! Depending on how long it takes to eat your goodies :) you may want to replace the piece of bread with a new one once the first gets hard and moldy.
So now every time you make some delicious treats, remember to add a slice of a bread!
THIS ALSO WORKS FOR YOUR BROWN SUGAR BAG TO AVOID HARD CLUMPING!
