I am licking my fingers as we speak from the ice cream dripping down them.
I know I said yesterday I was getting tired of chocolate chip cookie anything but I kinda forgot how good these were.
I know you’ve probably had chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches before. Â I’ve made them before. Â I go through the motions. Â Bake the cookies, sandwich the ice cream, freeze them. Â Then I grab one out to eat and break a tooth because the cookie is so darn hard and by the time it has softened up so has the ice cream which is now in a puddle on the counter which makes it two chocolate chip cookies in a puddle of ice cream. Â Not a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.
Whew. Â Did you catch all that!?
So what makes these cookies better? Â No butter.
Which basically saves you an emergency visit to the dentist for your “oops I broke a tooth because I was cravin some sweets and couldn’t resist this rock hard cookie.” Â Try explaining that to a guy who probably thinks you should limit your sweets anyway.
So whip up a batch of these. Â They are super easy and super delicious!
The original recipe for cake mix cookies is from a neighbor.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°
- In a medium bowl mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Work with a spoon until it forms a dough. Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Form into tablespoon size balls, place on a baking sheet, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Set the ice cream out to soften slightly then scoop 2 heaping tablespoons onto the flat side of a cookie. Top with another cookie and place on a plate or baking sheet. Place in the freezer immediately for an hour. Store in a plastic freezer bag.
Oh yeah, I wanted to leave you with this beautiful shot from my 3 year old.
I call it “laundry”. Â I have another dozen just like it. Â Isn’t he talented!? Â And in SOOO much trouble.
Yup, the drippy ice cream totally wins my heart.
Thanks Erin! I hope your Mom is doing okay!
She is thanks for asking! She’s still weak but recovering more every day.
Love these! And kudos on omitting the butter. You’ll save my body from going through hell later in life.
Thanks! They were really delicious!
Ohhhhh yum! This is my favorite treat at a little ocean side cafe, I don’t know why I’ve never made them at home!
my dentist thinks I should give up sweet for good. Thinking of changing him. These sandwiches are winning over the dentist by far!
Do you have some leftovers? If you do send it to me…
Those look so yummy Krista! I love CCC but with ice cream, it is double yummy!
Btw love the photo that your little guy took…funny!
Thanks Sandra! I’d totally send some if I thought they wouldn’t arrive in a glob of melted cookie mess. As for my little stinker, he is quite the photographer, isn’t he. I see big things in his future.
Hi! I just saw this website and these cookies look delicious! I have one question.. Can leftovers of this recipe be frozen? Because I thought that the cookies will not remain that good. And if yes, for how long can they be frozen? So I can prepare a batch as an emergency dessert!
thanks a lot and keep it up x x
Great question Cristina! Leftovers can definitely be frozen. I’d say up to 3 months but make sure to wrap them each separately in a sealable bag or wrap each with plastic wrap and store in a freezer ziploc bag. They are the perfect emergency dessert!
