Ooh this is a good thread. I can't think of anything besides adding the box of powder mix of vanilla instant pudding to any cookie recipe. They'll never get stale or crunchy, and stay like they did the first day they were baked.

I put sugar in my tomato sauce too, really cuts down on the acidity. That's all I got lol.

Vanilla pudding does that? Seriously? I'm thinking of making chocolate chip cookies soon (had a craving) and that's a REALLY good thing to know.

Yes! Keeps em soft and seems more freshly baked. Even if they're a little burned on the bottom. That jello powder mix softens them up for days 🙂

Huh! Well that's some solid advice.

Skip the onion and garlic powder.

Always go fresh. Can't beat it.

Very true, I do like my minced garlic and chopped onion for most (practically all scenarios), though there are some moments where powder is necessary. For example creating dry rub for ribs is a bit easier using powder since the grains are so tiny and stick well to the meat.
