Serving Tips:

Fresh from the Oven: For the best taste, enjoy the cookies while they’re still warm from the oven. The chocolate chips will be gooey, and the cookies will have a delightful, just-baked texture.
With Milk or Coffee: These cookies pair perfectly with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee, or tea. The creamy chocolate and buttery cookie complement these beverages wonderfully.
For Special Occasions: Dress up the cookies by drizzling them with melted chocolate or sprinkling a little sea salt on top before baking. This adds an extra touch of gourmet flavor.

Storage Tips:

Room Temperature Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. This will keep them soft and fresh.
Freezing Cookies: For longer storage, freeze the cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen cookies to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven for a few minutes.

Cookie Dough Freezing: If you want to bake fresh cookies on demand, freeze the cookie dough. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
