How can I keep cookies moist?

I think you should just let me hold them in my mouth!lol!

I think sweet breads like banana nut bread or zuchini bread travel well. They are dense so they don’t fall apart easily and they usually stay moist for days anyway. I would double wrap it tightly in saran wrap, tape it closed, and send it by overnight carrier.

Brownies do well because they are square and can be jammed into a square box without slippage worries. Wrap according to @gradyjones.

(@Pretty Lilly) Your answer makes no sense to me.

@Pretty_Lilly;Is _Generation Gap in either the question, the details or the tags? Or is my elderly vision going south?

You mean instead of butter? Did I hear apple sauce? I am not sure

Have your son microwave them when they arrive/before eating them!
While you’re at it, want to send me some?

@Pretty_Lilly is it possible you’re thinking of some other post…?

A little bit of corn syrup (e.g. Karo) in the recipe will keep them moist. Corn syrup is mostly glucose, which forms a chemical bond with water that is very hard to break. This is how all of the “moist and chewy” commercial cookies are made.

Here’s a recipe:
* 1 cup unsalted cold butter
* ¾ cup firmly-packed light-brown sugar
* ½ cup granulated sugar
* ¼ cup light corn syrup
* 1 large egg
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 2–½ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* ½ tsp. salt
* 10 oz. semisweet chocolate chips

Dont cook them all the way. I love those kind of cookies!! Thanks Pandey:)

Sir Mikey has a good tip. Also, you can stick an apple in the same container with the cookies, and that will keep them soft.

Thanks every one.
@Sir_Mikey I’ll give that a shot.
@sliceswiththings I didn’t even think about that. Thanks.
@gailcalled There is no over night. It takes 5 day, will it spoil

Do it Pandy:) You can thank me later:) (hugs):)

@lucillelucillelucille But then I would have to mail you with the cookies and customes is a bitch!

@Pandora: Five days? I have no idea. Can you find a baker or mom in his neighorhood and have her bake?

Dunk them in milk.

@gailcalled I don’t know any middle eastern women. And I don’t know if they eat cookies even. But even if he was somewhere I could ask someone. He wants moms cookies. I made him cookies and they were soft when I sent them but they got hard by then. Not really hard. He said he enjoyed them and so did everyone else only they weren’t as soft as when he has them at home. Of course when hes home he eats them in 1 to 2 days. They don’t have time to harden.

Drop them into your toilet tank.

I agree with Sir Goofy!!

@SirGoofy I think that is best after you ate them. LOL

I just saw there is additional info to the question. In that case it my answer does not alpply.

@flo No worries.
I would like to thank everyone for their input. I got some helpful info and some laughs as well.
Thanks. :) Have a great night.
