Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they’ll continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheets.
Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store and Serve: Once cooled, you can store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Serve them alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee for the perfect treat!
Presentation Tips
Plating: Arrange the cookies on a beautiful serving platter or tiered stand for a stunning display. You can stack them or lay them out in a single layer.
Garnishing: Dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an extra touch of elegance.
Adding a Personal Touch: Create a rustic look by placing the cookies in a glass jar tied with a ribbon or in a decorative tin.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a side of fresh fruit, a scoop of ice cream, or a selection of teas for a lovely dessert experience.
