Cooking & Baking
In reply to the discussion: For people whose cookies turn brick hard after a day or so. [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)18. I prefer flat cookies that are somewhat harder on the inside.
I can make cookies that are more breadlike inside by upping the amount of baking powder that I add, but as I pointed out, I don't like those types of cookies.
I used to bake bread but stopped after loaves would get too hard after sitting. I am now interested in baking my own burger (poultry) rolls and hotdog rolls because the commercial stuff is either too small or flavorless. I like to pack goodies in with my burgers or dogs and the commercial stuff breaks down too easily. I freeze dough (cookie and bread (when I made bread), but I would never eat bread out of a refrigerator).

I used to bake as a teen. No longer. I don't think I even have a cookie sheet

Brown sugar and shortening in the place of white sugar and butter are supposed to soften them.
