Here are two simple tricks that help convert your stiff, hard cookies into soft, gooey goodness.

Ingredients:

  • hard cookies

Instructions:

Option #1 : Microwave with Paper Towel

  • Grab a paper towel and run it under the water.
  • Gently squeeze the water out until it is slightly damp, just moist enough so when you put the paper towel on top, it won’t make the cookie soggy.
  • Wrap enough cookies with a damp paper towel arrange them in the center of a heat-proof plate. (For several cookies, lay a moister towel over the plate.)
  • Nuke the cookies at 10 seconds intervals or until they turn warm and soft. Check for each burst to know if the cookies are ready.

Option #2  How to Reheat Cookies in the Oven

  • Reheat the oven to 350°F
  • Arrange or sort your cookies on a baking sheet.
  • Warm the cookies for at least 3 to 5 minutes, but remember, the timing varies for different types of cookies. Three minutes work for me. Keep an eye while baking to ensure cookies get warmed, not burnt.
  • Once the cookies are ready, remove them immediately from the oven and serve. Be aware that we are simply warming the cookies, not re-baking them.

Notes:

Note:
Another alternative is to put a small mug of hot water next to the microwave plate. Doing this water trick will produce a source of moisture to refresh the cookies.
