Slightly over baked cookies can sometimes be rescued from being too dry and crunchy by placing them in an airtight tub before they are fully cooled. Placing hot, fresh-from-the-oven cookies on a wire rack to cool allows cool air to circulate around them finishing the baking (drying) process. Putting them in a tub will not allow the moisture to go anywhere other than back into the cookies. If you use this trick you may notice a slightly shorter shelf life than usual.
