I’m convinced that nothing can prepare you for the end of summer. It can’t just be me, right? I mean, you spend every waking hour partaking in summertime fun and warm weather activities, yet it still proves impossible to cram enough jollies into a Michigan summer before the inevitable cold and snowy suckfest, aka winter, hits.
I’m sorry if you think winter is magical. Like, really. I feel sorry for you. You’re probably also the people that do winter sports and don’t mind being cold. Maybe you even look good in a sweater. I can’t get on board. If I’m not in a crop top, I’m not livin’.
SO I’m currently trying to squeeze every ounce of merriment out of these last precious weeks of patio drinking weather. What better way to do so than with the classic Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich?!?!
It’s two (TWO!!!!) cookies. It’s fat scoops of ice cream. It’s a handheld dessert that can satisfy both your sweet and creamy cravings and chewy chunky ones. Oh, and duh, it’s super healthy and free from the evils of gluten and straight up sugar carbs. Have I sold you on this yet? Because I’m salivating over here.
The Cookie
You can absolutely make these as cookies, sans ice cream, and just eat them as a treat or like, breakfast or whatever. Don’t let the word cookie keep you from living your best life.
Or grab a sweet and creamy scoop of ice cream (I chose Arctic Zero dairy free in Pure Chocolate) and really live it up.
Sometimes a little dab of whipped cream and berries can really elevate your summer snacking game.

Looks wonderful
“Maybe you even look good in a sweater.” For the record, I look great in a sweater! Though no one’s ever told me that…well this comment turned sad in a hurry.
Oh Paul, I am almost certain that you can rock a sweater with the best of them! And I guess I was asking for it since I pretty much insulted an entire season and all those who find it to be magical. I was hangry when I wrote that paragraph…
Haha oh I didn’t feel insulted, I just felt like bragging lol. You should write a cookbook one day, or a multipurpose book with recipes and fashion tips.
Thank goodness! You have every right to brag to those of us who cannot pull off a sweater quite like you can. Must be a Canadian thing? You were born to be a winter fashion icon!
I would write a cookbook as long as people wouldn’t mind that it would be 90% desserts and 10% sass. 🙂
Sasserts, I like it! I’ve been saying for years (or the last 5 seconds) that cookbooks need more attitude. I think it would be great.
You just did it. You came up with the perfect premise and title and now I have to do it. What choice do I have??? Sasserts will be on shelves of a bookstore near you…
Excellent! I’m your book agent and your book tour starts in nice and chilly Canada, February 2017. Wear a sweater. 🙂
Touché Paul!! Sweater weather it is!!
YUMMMMMMMMMMMM
Thanks boo!
Not as yum as I imagine your magnifrickinificent ice cream sammies to be…and eternally grateful that I don’t remember what gluten tastes like or else I’d be in some deep trouble hahaha
Girl you’re telling me!
We annihilated those sammies, then laid back like bloated walrus’s.
But you were full of ice cream and that’s what matters in the end. 🙌 The only way to bloat lol
Oh YUM!!!!!
Thanks girl!!! ❤️
