The key to a great Soft Batch experience is microwaving the cookies for just 6 or 7 seconds.

You understand the true way of the soft cookie.

Wow, I'm really inspired to eat some Keebler Soft Batch cookies. I actually didn't know that they were still making them...though based on a quick online search, it seems only chocolate chip are available, not the glorious variety that existed in the '80s. I wonder if the chocolate chip version is the same as I remember after so many years and changes to Keebler corporate ownership? I guess there's only one way to find out!

I don't believe the recipe had changed. They still taste the same as I remember.

I remember nerding out and having to find the science behind all of this. Much like the CD it seemed too good to be true.

I really was like magic at the time. It was so novel that everyone at least had to try them.

We didn't have packaged deserts at home very often but my mom must have liked these because I can remember having soft Kebler cookies and Chewy Chips Ahoy pretty much more than any other snack or desert like this.

Over the years, I have found that people who liked them during those early years tended to REALLY like them. I certainly fell into that camp.
