At Just A Cookie Co. (JAC), we're passionate about delivering the freshest, most delicious cookies straight to your door. We recommend freezing cookies you don't plan to eat right away. Whether you freeze them or not, you MUST warm up the cookies to best experience the warm, gooey goodness. Here are the best methods for reheating both fresh and frozen treats, ensuring that every bite is as irresistible as the first.
**Reheating Baked Cookies:**
1. **Oven Method**:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place your JAC cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they're evenly spaced.
- Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the cookies are warmed through.
- Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent over-browning or drying out.
- Once warmed, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly before indulging in their freshly baked goodness.
2. **Microwave Method**:
- Place a damp paper towel on a microwave-safe plate.
- Arrange your JAC cookies in a single layer on the plate, leaving space between each cookie.
- Microwave the cookies on high power for 10-20 seconds, depending on size and thickness.
- Check the cookies after the initial heating time and continue microwaving in 5-second intervals until they reach your desired warmth.
- Be cautious not to overheat the cookies, as they may become rubbery.
3. **Toaster Oven Method**:
- Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place your JAC cookies on a toaster oven-safe tray or directly on the toaster oven rack.
- Heat the cookies for 5-7 minutes, or until they're warmed through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Once warmed, remove the cookies from the toaster oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two before savoring their delightful flavors.
4. **Steam Method**:
- Bring a pot of water to a simmer on the stove.
- Place a heatproof bowl or colander over the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
- Arrange your JAC cookies in a single layer in the bowl or colander.
- Cover the pot with a lid and let the steam warm the cookies for 3-5 minutes.
- Check the cookies periodically and remove them from the steam once they're warmed through.
- Let the cookies cool slightly before serving.
**Reheating Frozen Cookies:**
1. **Thawing Method**:
- Remove the frozen JAC treats from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
- Once thawed, follow one of the above methods for reheating baked cookies to warm them through before indulging.
2. **Direct Baking Method**:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the frozen JAC cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring even spacing.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they're warmed through and the edges are slightly crispy.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before enjoying their freshly baked taste.
With these simple reheating methods, you can enjoy treats from JAC at their absolute best, whether they're freshly baked or straight from the freezer. So go ahead, indulge in the ultimate cookie experience – we promise you won't be disappointed!
