Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich...

I've got this killer chocolate chip recipe from my mother-in-law.  But it makes WAY too many cookies so we usually roll the dough up into balls and freeze them to eat later.  For the past two weeks or so, Danny and I have pulled out 2 cookies each, baked them and made sandwiches with coffee ice cream.

These are to die for!  Warning...if you eat these every day for 2 weeks, plan on gaining some lbs :)  but it is so worth it.

Recipe.


1 lb. Butter softened (already off to a good start, right?)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4-6 cups (2 12 oz. packages) chocolate chips

Directions

1.  Whip butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla for 3-4 minutes

2.  Add mixed dry ingredients to butter mixture, and continue to beat

3.  Stir in chips and nuts

4.  Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper

5.  Bake 8-10 minutes

6.  Cool 5 minutes

Notes
I find these cookies are best if when you roll them into balls...don't make them to neat otherwise the cookies will flatten out quickly.  Make the balls kind of...lumpy and they will get nice and pretty :)

Best midnight snack...EVER!
