Cookie recipes that do not harden after cooling?

I have been trying to bake cookies for a gift basket for the men at my husband’s work. Every recipe I have tried since so far have hardened after cooling the cookies. Am I doing something wrong or does someone have recipes for Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies that stay soft after cooling? The men at his work like soft chewy cookies not hard ones.

What are these holiday cookies called?

My grandmother in law passed away and hubby and I were not lucky enough to receive her recipes.
I would like to give some details about these cookies and see if anyone knows what they are called.

They are pink and white and usually "braided" together and then curved at the top to form the shape of a candy cane.
they are somewhat of a "sweet" cookie, yet the pink and white parts of the cookies have two very distinct flavors.

hopefully someone can help, if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any good cookie recipes?

Mostly looking for recipes that have items found around the house. I’m babysitting and my lil brother wants homemade cookies. I can’t go to the store and buy any ingredients. I don’t have any baking soda or yeast, but I have a ton of other cookie ingredients including peanut butter, almond extract, chocolate (not chocolate chips, but hershey’s chocolate), oats, flour, sugar, salt, etc. Please tell me a good recipe (if there is a low fat recipe that would work too because my mom said not to give my little brother too much sugar).
