Chocomint Cookie Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwiches

I made some crazy dark chocolate peppermint cookies with milk chocolate chunks yesterday, and left a few without chunks for the purpose of ICE CREAM SANDWICHING. Wow, I went from Summer to Winter on this here blog – sorry for the lack of ice creamy posts! I guess I’ve been darn busy with Bake O’Clock, among other things!

But wait, here’s a recipe for you! Dark chocolate peppermint cookies with pale green peppermint ice cream, all just a real breeze and a half to make, if you have a teensy bit of time and inclination. The cookies are rich, fudgey and minty. The ice cream is cool-in-your-mouth minty and creamy. Together, well, you’ll want to eat with a tall glass of frosty milk or peppermint (!) tea! A beautiful holiday treat and your guests will be super surprised if you pulled these fan-favourites out of the freezer after a holiday dinner party.

Go here for the cookie recipe: CHOCOMINT COOKIES! but omit the milk chocolate addition, because the milk chocolate chunk won’t freeze well. The cookie recipe will yield 2 dozen cookies, enough for 1 dozen ice cream sandwiches (Yay Math!).

• Transfer finished ice cream to an airtight container and chill in freezer until harder in consistency.
• Scoop some ice cream onto one chocolate cookie, and sandwich with another. Squish down a bit but not too much.
• Wrap each individual ice cream sandwich in saran wrap, then place in an airtight container in the freezer to chill for at least an hour to set.
• Bring out your ice cream sandwiches and party down while you chomp into delicious pepperminty madness!!!
