What To Serve With It
Ever wonder what pairs perfectly with a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie? I’d always go for a tall glass of cold milk—it’s a classic combo that never disappoints.
If you’re feeling fancy, try dunking your cookie in a creamy hot chocolate or a smooth latte.
For a fun twist, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make a quick cookie sundae.
Sometimes, I pair them with fresh fruit, like strawberries, to balance the sweetness.
And if you’re like me, a handful of salty pretzels on the side adds the perfect contrast.
Trust me, it’s all about mixing flavors!
