Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches

March 6th, 2012

The past few days have been hot. And I don’t mean just hot by winter standards, but actual 80°+ days. In order to properly celebrate, I made my first frozen dessert of the year – peanut butter ice cream. It was good on its own, but the flavor was so intense (I went with 1 cup of peanut butter vs. the recommended 1/2 cup), that it needed something to balance it out. Enter: sugar cookies. They added a nice complementary crunch and when coated with a layer of chocolate sprinkles (or jimmies if you’re on the east coast), it became pretty much the ideal combination ever.

    I’ve heard that jimmies has racist connotations…I would avoid using the term.

    That is what I am doing for my wedding this August: Setting up a make your own ice cream sandwich bar :) I was going to do chocolate chip cookies but maybe sugar cookies are good to throw in with the mix.
