How to Serve Gourmet Brownie Cookies

How to Store Gourmet Brownie Cookies
To store your cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Tips to Make Gourmet Brownie Cookies
- Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot before mixing it with sugar to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Do not overmix the dough; combine the ingredients just until they are mixed.
- For extra chocolate flavor, try using a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

FAQs
1. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but the flavor and texture might differ slightly.
2. Can I add nuts to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans will add a nice crunch.
3. How can I make these cookies chewy?
Be sure not to overbake them. Taking them out when the edges are set and the center looks slightly underbaked will keep them chewy.
