The reason for the bread slices keeping the cookies softer is because of equilibrium. This is when the bread, air and cookies in the container all want to be equally moist. The bread starts with the most moisture. Then the air wants some, so it absorbs some of the bread's moisture. Then the cookies aren't very moist, so it takes some from the air, thus making the cookies softer. This always continues with whatever moisture is left in the area.
