These cookies are ready to eat straight from the package. For a slightly different texture, they can be gently warmed in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until they are just heated through. This can enhance their aroma and make them a bit softer. They are also a good base for simple desserts, like being crumbled over ice cream or used as a component in a no-bake dessert. Their portability makes them ideal for on-the-go consumption.
