Ice Cream Cookie+Sandwich Combos
We've got Brent and Sam's Pure Natural Cookies on sale - crazy sale, really - this week. Two boxes are just $4. These are a Central Market favorite- you can taste the wholesome goodness in these cookies. The White Chocolate Key Lime Pie ones are hard to put down, that's for sure. 
I KNOW it's not summer yet, but I can't help thinking of one of my favorite ways to limit myself to eating just two cookies: I make those two cookies into an Ice Cream Sandwich. Then I roll it in some kind of crunchy crushed nut or candy just to be sure to I don't cheat and grab a third...
For any of these combinations - and I ask you to comment and share your own, too - you basically just follow these steps:
Steps-
- Pick two cookies
- Crush pecans, pistachios, chocolate chips, raisins, Jelly Bellys, or just about anything that you think will taste incredible with your ice cream cookie - place on a flat plate
- Soften 1/4 cup of chosen flavor of Creamy Creations ice cream
- Lay cookie #1 on waxed paper, cover with ice cream, spreading it carefully from the center but not quite to the edge
- Top with cookie #2 and press down gently
- Roll ice cream edge in a full 360 across the crushed goodies on the plate
- Wrap wax paper tightly around cookie sandwich
- Place in freezer for at least 5-10 minutes to firm up
- Enjoy!
Combinations I Dig-
White Chocolate Key Lime Pie Cookies (Brent and Sam's) and Orange Sherbet
Oatmeal Pecan Cookies and Strawberry Cheesecake or Cinnamon - rolled in crushed Graham cracker
Chocolate Chip with Rocky Road - rolled in Marshmallows or crushed Walnuts
Raspberry Chocolate (Brent and Sam's) with Creamy Creations Raspberry Truffle
Gingersnaps (homemade for this one) loaded with Lemon Sorbet - try rolling in finely crushed lemon candie. If you roll in sparkling colored sugars, these look very cool on a dessert plate.
Chewy Double Fudge Cookies (Central Market Bakery) with Mint Chocolate Chip, rolled in pistachios or chocolate-covered cocoa nibs (very grown up ice cream sandwich!)
