How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookies
For the best experience, serve your Cookies and Cream Cookies warm, right out of the oven. They pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk, coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. You can also display them on a nice plate for guests or keep them in a jar for easy snacking.
How to Store Cookies and Cream Cookies
To keep your Cookies and Cream Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last about 3-5 days. If you want to keep them for a longer time, you can freeze them. Simply place the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will stay good for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
- Make sure your butter is cold and cubed. This helps create a nice texture in the cookies.
- Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour. This keeps the cookies tender.
- For an extra treat, you can add chopped nuts or candy pieces to the dough.
- If you want smaller cookies, simply make smaller dough balls and adjust the baking time.
Variation
If you want to switch things up, you can try using different types of chocolate or candy bars. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips can add a new flavor. You can also substitute the Oreos with other favorite cookies for a unique twist.
