I’ve never really been interested in plain chocolate cookies. I like chocolate chip, oatmeal, ones with nuts and cranberries, chocolate dipped butter cookies, the list goes on. So why would I make them? Because soft chocolate cookies are exactly what you need for a killer ice cream sandwich. You need them to be soft and easy to bite through so that the ice cream doesn’t squeeze out. Plain chocolate works well with lots of other flavors, probably any ice cream flavor.
I have to admit that when these were still warm, right out of the oven, they were delicious, very brownie like.
Still, they are even better when cooled and used to make ice cream sandwiches. This one is made with the banana cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream. What a combo!
That looks sooooooooo incredible Jess. I think the next flavor you try (when I’m there of course) should have something to do with peanut butter. I’m sure Lon will concur.
I just love soft cookies especially the melt in the mouth variety. Amongst the international ones I like Pepperidges and Captain Amos. Bakeman is a local favorite. the ones in your picture look sooo tempting
I’m drooling – any chance u can deliver these to brooklyn?!!! YUM!
Angie, for you, anything!
Knife, after years of baking cookies myself, it’s hard to eat store-bought.
Loni, I don’t head out to Brooklyn much, though I should try more.
Oh…that sounds so good. It is such a great combo. You need soft cookies, so when you bite into the sandwich the ice cream doesn’t escape.
Thanks Manger La Ville, ice cream sandwiches are way up there for me!
Ohhh yum! Especially with chocolate banana ice cream!
the cookies look like they’re perfect to use for ice cream sammiches! perhaps a thin layer of peanut butter would add even more decadence. awesome. 🙂
Linda, Banana and Chocolate is a favorite in this house.
Grace, I was thinking about that too!
