We’ve been stuffing our faces with a scoop of my cinnamon ice cream smashed between my spicy chocolate cookies lately. I tried turning them into 2-bite cookies (by rolling them into ½” balls and decreasing the baking time) to help with portion control, but I can’t quite help but take a bite every time I walk by the freezer. I’m convinced the world is off-kilter when one lonely bite of a cookie remains uneaten.
We decided our lives were incomplete without a mint version, so I tweaked the cookies to become a better version of themselves: a real punch in the face of chocolate, sans spiciness. I used store-bought mint chip ice cream for the smashing because there are so many great brands of ice cream at the market these days made from real (read: no green dye) ingredients.
I'm headed home to Texas for a quick weekend trip. If I don't die for utter heat exhaustion, I'll be back next week with a new drunken cookie recipe. Yep, you read that right.
Ice cream sandwiches never tasted so good!
*You can see in the photo that the cocoa powder I used was rather light in color. It's because it has a higher fat content. And I love it. Try Spices, Inc. for a high-fat delicious cocoa powder. If you use regular cocoa powder, your cookies will be a tad darker, but just as delicious!
*Stir 3 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough if your little heart desires it!
