Do you love ice cream and cookies? If you're like me, they are a staple in your house and you could eat them any time of day or, for that matter, any time of year!
I usually make a trip to my local Publix about 3-4 times a week, OK, maybe 5-6 but who's counting, and I always check out the freezer and dairy aisles to see what sparks my imagination for a new recipe. It could be savory, or it could be sweet, but there's always something there that I just have to pick up.
A fun, cool dessert for spring.
I love products that make my life easier, especially when I know the grandkids are coming. They like helping me in the kitchen so I usually plan something easy and fun for them. So, picking up a package of Nestlé Toll House Cookies from the dairy section, where it's just scoop and bake, is ideal. Plus, I can't help but pick up some of my favorite rich and creamy Häagen-Dazs ice cream in their favorite flavors too. And, if you're wondering, I do sneak some of mine in there too. 🙂
In honor of spring, which is definitely in the air here in Florida, I made these easy ice cream sandwich cookies and let the kids get them all dolled up in spring colors for the occasion.
