Baking Tips for Success

To ensure your Single Serve Double Chocolate Cookie turns out perfectly every time, measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for precision, especially when it comes to the flour and cocoa powder. Too much flour can lead to a dry cookie, while too little can make it too gooey.

Also, be mindful of the baking time. Each oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookie as it bakes. You want the edges to be set but the center slightly soft for the best texture. If you’re unsure, it's better to underbake slightly since the cookie will continue cooking on the baking sheet after removing it from the oven.

Storage and Reheating

If you happen to have leftovers, store your cookie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. However, be warned—it might not last that long! If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing the cookie. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy your cookie again, simply thaw it at room temperature or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. This will bring back that freshly baked warmth and gooey chocolate goodness, making it feel like it just came out of the oven.
