Chewy German Chocolate Cookies
When I want a cookie that's as chewy as a brownie, this is the recipe I reach for. Coffee granules add the right amount of mocha flavor. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

I made this receipy. At first they were delicious but after two days they became dry and hard. They were in an air tight container. What did I do wrong?
I made this cookie because it was my husband's birthday and German Chocolate Cake is his favorite. These were okay, Chocolate Chip is his favorite cookie and I owe him a cake.
This was a good cookie but not one of my favorites.
