make them
Friday, August 13, 2010Well, that week pretty much flew by. I seriously don't know what happened to our summer. I do know driving has been my number one activity.
Ice cream with any cookie is good. Chocolate chip, Chocolate, Sugar all sound good but I always wanted to try to make one like the ones in the store.
The recipe calls for margarine and mentions that margarine makes for a chewy, soft cookie. I never buy margarine and only ever bake with butter. I think the butter worked fine.
This was sort of fun. You know, like crafting in the kitchen. Sort of like using your rotary cutter and cutting fabric. With a bonus that you can eat all the extra trimming.
Have the kids poke holes in the top with a fork. Or a pin if you are really in the sewing mood.
Make sure you leave a sweet note so they won't eat a top. Or a bottom. Cause you know, a topless ice cream sandwich just wouldn't be cool.
Now this was a challenge. Finding the half gallon. You know, the rectangular one. My store had one brand and 3 flavors. Funny how I didn't notice that no one really makes it like that anymore until I actually went looking for one.

Assembly was fun. More scraps... this time ice cream, as you sort of have to trim the side so the ice cream fits in nicely. I then wrapped each one in parchment paper. And stuck them back into the freezer.
They were pretty big... so I cut them in half. (Meanie. Of course, they wanted more.)

Found some really great wooden buttons for my sweater. Plan on sewing those on this weekend and casting on for this.
All right... have a fabulous weekend!

ReplyDeleteLooks like Fun! considering it's hard to find ice cream sandwiches without transfats - this is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOK. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: you are a WAY nicer mommy than I. Dude.
ReplyDeleteA++++ Mom! I hope your kids appreciate you! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteThey look amazing!! is there anything better than an ice cream sandwich?! I think not.
ReplyDeleteoh my god. awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteWow...those look amazing!!! YUMMY!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome. I bet you have made your own marshmallows too...
ReplyDeleteYou are unbelievable. I love how you meticulously measured the ice cream and the cookies. But HALF an ice cream sandwich? Pullllease! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling - ice cream cookies are my absolute favourite thing in the worl. DOUBLE YUM
ReplyDeleteI love your ice cream sandwiches. I had some this summer for the first time in ages but I'm sure they weren't as good as homemade. I also love your new sweater. You pick the best projects.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, those look so, so good and yes, they would definitely need a note in this house too.
ReplyDeleteThey look so yummy! I should really try this myself. Looks like fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI love when you post sweater patterns I haven't seen. I've been too busy to knit much, but that looks like a great one for me to do since my belly will be rapidly expanding throughout the winter!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm gonna go get some chocolate to continue my blog reading! Your chocolate sandwich are very appetizing... Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYum-o! Thank you for sharing the adventure! And that sweater - you pick out the best cardigans.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'd almost forgotten about the good old ice cream sandwich. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteFunny - I only bake with margarine for the most part and I bake Alot! Blue bonnet at that as all are not equal. Oatmeal Chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches are our favortie!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I've been experimenting with homemade graham crackers to go with our delicious homemade marshmallows for the perfect s'more! The sweater is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI never even considered making these!!!! But I will now! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Must try.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! I've always wanted to make my own ice cream sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteI remember when ice cream always came as a rectangle, in the flimsy cardboard boxes with a floppy lid. God forbid you ever left it out on the counter too long, it would melt everywhere! Only the 'fancy' ice cream ever came in the sturdy tubs.
Thank you for this, can't wait to try it!
How soft were the cookies? Wonder if you could try softening any ice cream a little bit and squish them into shape and refreezing?
ReplyDeleteYum......to the ice cream sandwiches AND the sweater pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to leave a note like that here, too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to try out that recepie :)
The cookies look delicious. It's been so hot around here--we just hit the 16th day of summer in the 100's!! Some ice cream would really hit the spot. The new sweater is gorgeous--can't wait to watch your progress. I am so ready for sweater weather.
ReplyDeleteWow! You get my vote for Mom-of-the-Year. Those look absolutely fantastic. I had forgotten about the half-gallon ice cream boxes. Such great memories.
ReplyDeletewonderful summer kitchen crafting...they look delicious. Ice cream sandwiches are one of my favorite ice cream treats. I love them when they get a bit melty!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
ReplyDeletethey look just great and fun to make!!
ReplyDeletethe only thing we would have to add is jimmies around the outside on the ice cream.
I've just started making my own ice cream and now I will make these. They look delice!
ReplyDeleteWow yum!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find your buttons? I've been on a button quest for a month or more and can't seem to find the perfect seven.
OMG that looks amazing! DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteLovely. It might be more work, but you can always line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and let your ice cream soften and put it in there. It might be easier than finding the one rectangular package of ice cream.
ReplyDeletethey're so delicious-looking!!! now i want one.
ReplyDeleteMMMM! Gotta make some now. :)
ReplyDeletewe are making these for sure....thanks for the link!
