The bread helps maintain moisture.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do Not Overbake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Slightly underbaking the cookies ensures they stay soft in the center.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Freeze for Freshness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Freeze baked cookies in a sealed bag.

You can freeze the dough or the baked cookies:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dough<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Scoop into balls and freeze on a tray.
