What To Serve With It
While these cookies are fantastic on their own, I’ve found that pairing them with something extra can make them even more special. A cold glass of milk is a classic choice, but I also love serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a gooey, melty treat.
For a fancier twist, drizzle them with caramel sauce or sprinkle sea salt on top. Warm cookies paired with coffee or hot chocolate are perfect for cozy moments.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try crumbling them over yogurt or adding them to a milkshake. Trust me, the possibilities are endless and delicious!
