As I lay awake thinking about how good my chocolate chip cookies were I couldn't help but wonder how I could make them any better. I know there were different recipes I could try but I still had a whole batch (ok, well half a batch...I have eaten quite a few of them) of cookies that I didn't want to go to waste. Then it hit me, I could make an ice cream sandwhich out of them! I've seen it done before but I had not had one in forever and I certainly had never made one myself. It couldn't be too hard, right? All I needed to do was throw some ice cream in between 2 cookies and I had an ice cream sandwhich, right?
Here's what I did: I first put several of the cookies in the freezer (for about 10 minutes) so that they would be harder and the ice cream would spread on easily. Second, I choose my ice cream. I figured that I couldn't go wrong with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (I mean really...does it really get any better?) so I put some in a bowl and mixed chocolate chips in it (I was totally channeling Marble Slab...but without the marble slab...and without the metal scoops to bang around on the slab.) After mixing the ice cream and chocolate chips I got my cookies out of the freezer and spread the ice cream on top of one cookie and then firmly pressed another cookie on top of it. I then rolled the cookies (the sides of the cookies) in chocolate chips to add more. I then promptly (because the ice cream was quickly starting to melt) placed the cookie sandwiches back in the freezer. They were hardened and ready to eat in about 10 minutes.
This is a great way to use leftover cookies!
Here's some pictures!
