Store your French toast cookies at room temperature in an airtight container. I recommend enjoying within 5 days for the best flavor and texture.
If you’ve made a few of my gourmet cookie recipes, you may have noticed that I use cake flour in almost all of them. This isn’t to make you go out and buy a fancy flour just for the sake of calling the cookies gourmet! No, cake flour plays a very important role in the texture and crumb of the cookies.
Cake flour contains less gluten than all-purpose flour, resulting in a softer, more tender, and more delicate texture. This is exactly what we are looking for when making cookies modeled after cake flavors (like my devil’s food cookies) or cookies that need to be thicker, but not dry (like my gourmet sugar cookies).
Yes, it’s more expensive, but it’s well worth it if you want a truly gourmet experience.
Yes! The dough, buttercream, and topping can each be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. You can make the dough up to two days in advance; store covered in the fridge. The buttercream can also be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for several days.
