Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
Nom!
We made chocolate chip cookies from the Betty Crocker recipe. (I wouldn't recommend in future. I had to make several adjustments (at least +1 egg and + vanilla extract), and they were still unusually tall, wide, and kinda chewy.) That being said, they work with the (leftover homemade butter pecan) ice cream quite nicely.
We didn't try to get an entire container of ice cream to be 1" tall (as recommended by King Arthur bakers) for use with biscuit cutter, as this seemed nigh impossible, given that we're talking near half a gallon of ice cream in a deep gallon like container. So we just left it on the counter for ... a while (what? My sister called.), and then scooped it on a cookie, and smooshed it down with another cookie. Placed on cookie sheets, between wax paper, and back in the freezer.
Downside: (at least the first day) the cookies became something like rocks. They were better (read: easier to gnaw) the next day. I'm hoping this continues as a trend.
Upside: Flavor was perfect.
Just have to work on that frozen cookie issue.
p.s. Any of y'all whose coolers are currently residing in my living room (and yes, there's more than one of you) can get yourself a Free(!) Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich (or slice of blueberry pie) when picking up said cooler. (While supplies last!)
