My grandma's trick of putting a slice of bread in the cookie jar kept them soft for 5 days, and I called it gross for a decade
I finally tried it last Tuesday after my third batch of oatmeal cookies turned into hockey pucks by Thursday, and now I want to know what other old kitchen tricks I've been ignoring because they sounded weird.

Wait, so you're telling me a slice of bread sitting in there getting stale and mushy is better than just using a proper airtight container? Sounds like a great way to end up with moldy bread glued to your cookies. My aunt did the whole bread thing for years and half the time she'd pull out a cookie with green fuzz stuck to it. A good sealed jar or a zip bag does the same job without turning your snack into a science fair project. Some of these old tricks worked because folks didn't have better options, not because they were actually good.
