So i got these peanut butter cookies from the local grocery store and they were delicious. They were soft and chewy. So i went out this week and got some more. This time, however, they were hard and crunchy. Not want I want. Still good, but not as good.

So what's the verdict? Soft and chewy or hard and crunchy?

Hard and chewy.

Soft and crunchy!

Actually, I prefer soft and chewy. But don't eat baked goods that much. (Diabetic)

I like blueberry pie.

You did say baked goods, not just cookies.

I thought "cookie preference" would open this up to a whole different conversation

No one is going to say that they like their goods hard. Boo to that.

I like warm apple pie. Reminds me of something...

I have some great recipes for cookies that are diabetic friendly. And I keep them sealed up so they remain soft and chewy.

Does that piece of bread trick work as well?

Not sure of what you speak.

I've been told that if you include a piece of bread in the same package the cookies are sealed, it will assure you of soft cookies.
I'm not a cookie eater, so I've never seized the opportunity to try it.

My mom used to put a slice of bread into the cookie jar after she'd made cookies. She swore it worked, and the cookies were always good, so, I guess I can vouch for it.

I don't know how a piece of bread will help, but a fresh carrot does.  It has just enough moisture in it to keep the cookies from drying out.

Me either, but I learned never to argue with the cook.

Never tired a carrot, will have to try that method. I usually use a half a slice of bread and it works for 2-3 days. Its funny because if you use a full slice it gets almost to moist and falls apart.

Soft and chewy

if a cookie is hard and cruchy they did it wrong
