The provided reference explains how to soften cookies, which includes the chocolate chips they contain. Therefore, the question can be rephrased as: How do you soften hard chocolate chips in cookies?
Here's how to soften hard chocolate chips in cookies using the method described in the reference:
Softening Hard Chocolate Chips in Cookies
The key to bringing your hardened cookies (and their chocolate chips) back to life is using a microwave and paper towel.
Steps:
- Wrap: Encase the cookies you want to soften in a paper towel. This is important for the following steps.
- Microwave: Place the wrapped cookies in the microwave for approximately 1 minute.
- Absorb Moisture: The paper towel will absorb any excess moisture released by the cookies, which will stop them from becoming soggy.
- Enjoy: Your cookies should now be delightfully warm, with softened chocolate chips!
