Serving & Storage Tips
We serve our Godiva chocolate chip cookies warm or at room temperature for the best rich cocoa flavor. We often pair them with a chilled glass of milk or enjoy them alongside fresh fruit for a balanced sweet treat.
To keep them fresh:
- Cool cookies completely before storing. This helps prevent moisture buildup.
- Arrange them in an airtight container. We avoid overcrowding and place parchment between layers to protect the delicate texture.
- Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For extended storage:
- Wrap cookies individually in plastic or freezer-safe bags to retain their velvety texture.
- Reheat frozen cookies in a low oven until they are warm to the touch.

|---|---|
| Airtight container at room temp | 4 to 5 days |
