Chewy cookies not chewy anymore?

Question

I bought some chocolate chewy cookies, and after a few days they became stale and not chewy. What happened?

Answer 1

You did not mention how you stored them.  Possibly the package was not closed and air got in causing them to dry out.  If you really like them enough to purchase them again, try removing them from their original packaging and put the cookies in a zip lock plastic bag.

Answer 2

The water in the cookies evaporated so they dried out and became stale. Try wrapping up to three cookies at a time in a paper towel and microwaving them for 15-30 seconds. Eat them as soon as it's thermally safe to do so. To avoid this kind of catastrophe in the future, try placing a piece of bread in with your cookies in an airtight container.

Answer 3

did you keep them covered. if you didnt the mouisture probably escaped.

Answer 9

They dehydrated(the water got sucked out into the air)!

Remove them from the container they came in and place them in a Ziplock Plastic Bag...Put the cookies in and also add 2 or 3 slices of fresh bread..Seal the bag and check after 24 hours...I bet you will have soft chewy cookies again.

Answer 10

if you let them sitting out uncovered they got stale.  

Answer 11

Next time, put them immediately in a cookie jar with some soda crackers. They stay fresh longer.

Answer 12

Every year my mom makes a ton of cookies at christmas. In each container she puts a slice of bread to keep them fresh and moist. The bread releases moisture and gets hard but the cookies stay soft. Try that in the future.

Answer 13

I always put mine in a zip lock bag as soon as I get home from the store.  I don't care what kind of packaging they are in or if they say it's a stay fresh pkg, it never works.  So rely on the old zip lock method.

Answer 14
