How to Serve Gourmet Brownie Cookies
Gourmet Brownie Cookies are best served warm, right out of the oven. They are delicious on their own, but you can also enjoy them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top. Pair them with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee to make your snack time even more special.
How to Store Gourmet Brownie Cookies
To store your Gourmet Brownie Cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers, and they will last for up to three months. Thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!
