While living in Denver, I discover that fresh baked cookies (even in a zip-locked bag) dried out quickly. By adding a slice of bread, the cookies stayed moist. Just change the bread when the slice dries out.
Just don't do it with sandwich cookies such as Oreos, like I did. It makes them soft too. My mistake!

Thanks for info, Pam. When I get around to making Christmas cookies, I will put a slice of bread in my zip-lock bag to keep them fresh. Never thought of doing that with cookies.
