What To Serve With It
I love serving my Nestle Toll House cookies with a tall glass of cold milk—it’s classic for a reason. Or, for a sweeter twist, I scoop vanilla ice cream between two warm cookies to make a perfect sandwich. Either way, these combos make every bite even better.
Classic Milk Pairing
There’s nothing quite like dunking a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie into a cold glass of milk—it’s a classic for a reason. The contrast between the rich, melty cookie and the invigorating chill of cold milk is perfection. Sometimes, I’ll switch it up and pair my cookies with warm milk, especially on cozy nights. It’s comforting and feels like a hug in a mug. Whether cold or warm, the milk softens the cookie just enough, creating that irresistible texture. I’ve found this pairing never fails to bring a smile, reminding me why it’s such a timeless treat.
Ice Cream Combos
While milk and cookies are a match made in heaven, let’s not forget how amazing these warm, chewy Nestle Toll House cookies taste with a scoop of ice cream. I love pairing them with vanilla bean—it melts just enough to soak into the cookie, creating a gooey, dreamy bite. For extra indulgence, add a chocolate drizzle and a sprinkle of cookie crumble on top. Chocolate chip cookies also shine with mint chocolate chip or caramel swirl ice cream. Trust me, it’s like dessert magic. Don’t be afraid to experiment—your taste buds will thank you!
