Chocolate Chip Cookies & Sweet Milk Ice Cream Sandwiches

Chocolate Chip Cookies & Sweet Milk Ice Cream Sandwiches are just about the only dessert I need to instantly take me back to my childhood. As a kid I always looked forward to a Rich’s chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream sandwich, the kind you had to push out of a container by poking a hole through the bottom. It was heavenly with each bite. If you’ve never had the splendor of trying these as a kid I strongly urge you make these as soon as possible to awaken your inner child. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, right from the fridge, or at room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt (use 1/2 teaspoon salt if you use salted butter)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
1 teaspoon vinegar, cider or white
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

2. In a large bowl, combine the sugars, butter, shortening, salt, vanilla and almond extracts, vinegar, and baking soda, beating until smooth and creamy.

3. Beat in the egg, again beating till smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Mix in the flour, then the chips.

4. Use a spoon (or a tablespoon cookie scoop) to scoop 1 1/4″ balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2″ between them on all sides; they’ll spread.

5. Bake the cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, till their edges are chestnut brown and their tops are light golden brown, almost blonde.

6. Remove them from the oven, and cool on the pan till they’ve set enough to move without breaking. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Sweet Milk Ice Cream

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried whole milk or whole milk powder
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Plus

Prepare

1. In a large (2 1/2- to 3-quart) saucepan, whisk together the dried milk, sugar, and tapioca starch.
Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.

2. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook the ice cream base, stirring constantly, until it becomes just slightly thicker than heavy cream; it will thinly coat the spoon or spatula you’re using.

3. Remove the pan from the heat, and pour the base into a heatproof mixing bowl, stirring occasionally as it cools to prevent a skin from forming.

4. Once the base has cooled to just slightly warmer than room temperature, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the surface, again to prevent a skin from forming.

5. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, to chill completely.

6. Freeze the base in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.

7. Transfer the ice cream to a covered container, and freeze until ready to serve. The ice cream may firm up a bit as it freezes, so leave it at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to soften before serving, if necessary.

Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches

Summer is finally here and ice cream recipes, like this one for Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches, will overfloweth from this food blog. If you’re just now jumping onto Florida Girl Cooks you’ll need to be properly warned about my obsession with ice cream. It’s a problem, I may need an intervention of sorts, but I will refuse. Haha! My love of ice cream came from my dad. Daily dessert tradition for us after dinner every evening involved my dad taking a tub of Breyer’s Vanilla Bean Ice Cream out of the fridge. From here I would add Chocolate Quik Powder. I know this sounds bizzare, but my saying to that is, don’t knock it until you try it. I have turned my sons onto this combination and they LOVE it. My dad passed away this past October and undoubtedly, everytime I sit down to enjoy ice cream with my sons he comes to mind instantly. This blog post is dedicated to my dad, whom I miss dearly. 

The Scoop

Here’s the scoop on on what Florida Girl Cooks has churned in the ice cream world in past posts. 

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Rich Chocolate Ice Cream

Roasted Hazelnut Gelato

Blueberry Ice Cream

Mango Gelato

Pina Colada Ice Cream

Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients

2 cups strawberries
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 tbsp Cointreau, optional
2 cups half & half
1/4 cup light corn syrup
salt, to taste
fresh lemon juice

Prepare

1. Wash, hull, and quarter 1 cup of strawberries. Slice the quarters very thinly. Place in a mixing bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the sugar and the liquor over the berries. Mix, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and as long as 2 days.
2. Wash, hull, and slice the remaining berries, and purée in a blender until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds, then measure out 1 1/2 cups of the strained purée. Reserve any extra for another use.
3. Whisk in the 1 1/2 cups of purée, half & half, and corn syrup, whisking until fully combined. Add salt to taste and, if the mixture is too sweet, a few drops of fresh lemon juice.
4. Chill the base until very cold, then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In the last minute of churning, retrieve the sliced strawberries from the refrigerator, drain the liquid, and add to the ice cream for the final few turns.
5. Transfer the ice cream to a covered container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup supermarket-style smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
2. Beat together the shortening, sugars, egg, vanilla, and peanut butter until smooth.
3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the peanut-butter mixture, beating gently until everything is well combined. It may take awhile for this rather dry dough to come together; and when it does, it’ll be quite stiff. Only if necessary, drizzle in enough water to make the dough cohesive.
4. Drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets (a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here), leaving 2″ between them.
5. Use a fork to flatten each cookie to about 1/2″ thick, making a cross-hatch design.
6. Bake the cookies for 12 to 16 minutes, until they’re barely beginning to brown around the edges; the tops won’t have browned. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a rack.
Yield: about 2 dozen cookies.
