As soon as they're cool, seal them tightly in Tupperware or something similar. You might also want to add half an apple or a slice or two of fresh bread to the container.

Without seeing the recipe it would be hard to advise you. The term "sugar cookie" is used for a wide number of item from the rolled cookies that people decorate for Christmas to drop cookies that some people call "tea cakes."

Generally, using shortening instead of butter will make you cookies softer. An easy way to make cookies soft is to underbake them. As has been mentioned, how you store them will influence the texture.

I guess I'm just a weird one...am I the only one on this earth who likes my cookies crunchy? No offense to the soft cookie lovers, but...to me anyway...soft cookies taste like they're not baked all the way. (No, I don't like raw cookie dough, either!!! I know, I should be banished for eternity!) The only time I like a soft cookie is when it is soaked with milk or tea! Jenn.

Well Jenn. Make Biscotties or Cantuccinis. Or bake your cookies crunchy.

I like them crunchy too.

I try not to eat too many cookies, but I always leave one sheet in for a little bit longer and make them good and crispy for me! Those NEVER get put in the container with the pieces of bread! Love Biscotties, too! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, though! Jenn.
