Sandy,
 
I, too, use the regular Toll-House cookie recipe, being careful not to
overcook them.  They are great the first day, but my Mom taught me a trick
that keeps them just as good.  On the plate or in the tin that you put the
cooled cookies in, place one piece of plain bread in the bottom (the heel is
fine).  Pile your cookies on top and seal tightly with the top or with
saran.  The cookies somehow pull the moisture from the bread, keeping them
wonderfully moist and chewey.  I always do mine this way!
