I was eating chocolate cookies the other day, and realized that I do this out of habit - I put a small cup of water along with the cookies when I microwave them.
I do this since I only eat store-bought cookies, and I only like them when they're soft and the chocolate melts in your mouth (I don't like it when my chocolate cookies are stale and hard, but it might be just me!) If you're lazy, just drizzle a bit of water over the cookies directly (too much and they'll get soggy, think... almost a teaspoon of water per cookie)
This doesn't apply only to chocolate cookies - you can use this trick to bring back other food 'to life' when you're microwaving them or putting them in the oven! Like baked goods (bread, pastry, etc), rice (if you had it in the fridge), steamed vegetables, etc.
