Lately, I’ve been pondering the awesome-ness that would come from owning a bread machine and an ice cream maker. This would definitely have to wait until I were living somewhere with a kitchen that was significantly bigger, but think of all the possibilities! :O!
But enough about that (for now). Here’s something that my summer group liked to make back in 2006! :O We kinda don’t hang out that often anymore, partly due to the fact that we are strewn all over the country (well, all over California, with the exception of me), and also due in part to complications that tend to happen when people start dating within the group. (sigh.) But the memories of road trips, late-night hot-tubbing and pizookies still remain!
You’ll need a pie-sized circular dish for this recipe! :]
Chocolate Chip Pizookie
(Don’t worry, we added more ice cream.)
Ingredients:
- vanilla ice cream
- cookie dough (from scratch [see below for somewhat healthier recipe] or use ready-made [which we did because this was many years ago, before I discovered the joys of making food)
Instructions:
1) Bake the cookie in the pan and scoop ice cream on top. There are endless variations that you could do with this (both with the cookie and the ice cream :D!).
