Cool the soft cookies completely and transfer them to an airtight container. Ensure that the lid is closed tight to prevent them from becoming stale and hard. You can keep the cookies at room temperature for up to 1 week. Run a little water through a paper towel and wring out the excess moisture. Unroll the damp paper towel and lay it on a sheet of waxed paper. Set the waxed paper with the towel on top of the cookies in the container and close the lid. If the paper towel dries out, you can remove it. Replace it with another damp paper towel. If you don't want to use the damp paper towel, you can use a piece of bread to add moisture. Just set a piece of plain bread on waxed paper and lay this on the cookies. Close the container and leave the bread with the cookies. If you're shipping the cookies or giving them as gifts, you can use a tortilla instead of a piece of bread. The tortilla will also keep the cookies moist, but will take up less space than the piece of bread.
