How to Make a Cookie Taste Freshly Baked

Microwave and moisture

Crumple a paper towel and run it under water.

Squeeze and wring your towel until it is lightly damp. Don't make the towel too wet. The cookie may get soggy.

Wrap your cookie in the paper towel. For several cookies lay a moister towel over the plate.

Microwave your cookie for 15-20 seconds.

Enjoy a cookie that tastes a whole lot fresher than before.

Slice of bread

Check the cookies for freshness.

Slip a slice of fresh bread into the storage jar or container. Place it right on the cookies.

Leave the bread there. It will leach out the moisture into the cookies. This will restore the freshness to the cookies.

Eat quickly still. The bread trick won't last for more than 24-48 hours and if you leave it too long, the whole lot will go moldy.

Syrup or honey

Arrange the stale cookie or cookies upside down on a cookie sheet. It's going to be an easier clean-up for you if you line the sheet with parchment or baking paper first.

Drizzle syrup or honey over the base of each cookie.

Let the cookies sit for at least 10 minutes to soak in the sweet goodness. The syrup or honey will add a touch of moisture and a lot of flavor.

Eat soon. This solution is best done prior to serving and polishing off these almost stale cookies.
