They can also be used to line the bottom of tart pans for a unique crust.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their soft texture, store any remaining cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or heat, which can cause them to become stale or sticky. Properly stored, they will retain their desirable chewiness for several days.
