What to do with stale chocolate cookies?

1. Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream: Blend some stale chocolate cookies, chocolate chips, and milk in a blender until smooth. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Chocolate Cookie Parfaits: Layer crumbled chocolate cookies, whipped cream, and fresh berries (like strawberries or raspberries) in a parfait glass or jar. Repeat the layers until the glass is full, ending with whipped cream.

3. Chocolate Cookie Truffles: Grind stale chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted chocolate, butter, and a little cream until you get a thick, moldable dough. Roll the mixture into balls and refrigerate until firm. Dip the truffles in melted chocolate and refrigerate again until the chocolate coating sets.

4. Chocolate Chip Cookies: You can revive stale chocolate cookies by re-baking them. Pre-heat the oven to 175°C/350°F and place the stale cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they warm up and turn slightly crispy around the edges.

5. Chocolate Cookie Crumb Topping: Crumble stale chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a blender or food processor. Use these crumbs as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
