A few Fridays ago my husband and I were going through our usual TGIF ritual— takeout, cocktails, and netflix— when a sweet craving hit. And suddenly I was hit with inspiration that only late night munchies can bring.

What if you took vanilla ice cream and sandwiched it between two layers of chocolate chip cookie dough? 

I wasn’t the only one with the brilliant idea it looks like, because just a few days later my friend Katrina of In Katrina’s Kitchen posted that exact idea. It looked just as good as I had envisioned, and I couldn’t wait to give her recipe a try.

This week we finally had the time to put them together, and they were a cinch. And more than well worth the effort—  we gobbled them up! It’s like chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but in a wonderful single-serving and perfectly portable package.
