Notes

These cookies shine when served warm, perhaps alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to preserve them for a longer period, consider freezing the cookies after they have cooled completely.
