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.
--------------------
I have seen this question a lot. try putting a piece of white bread in the package with the cookies. It will keep them moist. You could also reduce your baking time and cut back on the flour by about 2 tablespoons Here's my pb cookie recipe 1/2 cup peanut butter ( I increase to 3/4 cup) 12 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 3/4 tsp soda 1 1/4 cup flour cream butters, sugars and egg blend in vanilla sift in dry ingredients. preheat oven to 375 roll cookies into 1/2 inch balls and smash with a fork. bake 7-9 minutes. these will stay soft if you don't overbake
