Perfect for a Holiday Cookie Exchange
I will say that every year I do participate in a holiday cookie exchange. These cookies are great for a holiday cookie exchange. You can be that one person that brings something delicious like Fudgy Lava Cookies.
While I like the traditional cookies you can find during the holidays, these cookies are awesome for any holiday cookie exchange that you may be participating in this year.
Storing
When you are working with a homemade cookie, you should know how to store them. A traditional cookie should always be cooled before they are stored. Pack them into airtight containers and keep them at room temperature.
Most cookies will only last a few days on the counter before they’re starting getting hard and inedible. Keeping cookies fresh comes down to making sure they are stored correctly and consumed within a few days. These types of cookies can also be frozen for consumption later.
What Kind of Drink Can You Enjoy with them
I personally think that the best drink to enjoy with any is a big glass of milk. Milk is an excellent way to enjoy all the chocolate in these cookies, without overdoing it. Plus: You can dip them in! You can also enjoy hot cocoa or coffee with these cookies! The warmth of the drink and the gooeyness of the chocolate goes well together.
