Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the cookie dough before baking to enhance the flavors. If you're short on time, store-bought cookie dough can be a quick substitute. Additionally, try using different flavors of ice cream like mint chocolate chip or cookie dough for a unique treat. Ensure the ice cream is softened but not melted for easy spreading.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Treatwiches as a delightful dessert at parties or family gatherings. They pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream on the side. For a fun twist, consider drizzling with chocolate or caramel sauce. You can also serve them alongside other sweet treats like Best Lemon Pie for a varied dessert table.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Treatwiches in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their shape and texture. For best results, separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. If you want to enjoy them warm, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, or briefly microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
