Making iced cream sandwiches

Friday is my boyfriend's birthday, and I decided since it's so nice out and it'll be warm I am gonna make iced cream sandwiches.

I found a recipe on allrecipe for a double chocolate cakey-texture cookie (I'm gonna do butterscotch chips instead of walnuts). http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocola...es/Detail.aspx

My only problem is deciding about the iced cream. I have a gallon of Homemade (the UDF-brand, for people around here, if not, the super good kind) vanilla, but I am considering mixing in a little cool whip to get a better texture and then refreezing it.

Maybe I should try it first, my major concern is not ruining the iced cream or the cool whip in the process since they both depend so much on the air in them... Has anyone ever tried that before? I know I'd have to fold it in and do it as gently and minimally as possible.

What do you guys think? I'm rolling the edges of the iced cream in those tiny little confetti sprinkles, and I bought candles too.

your still in Columbus?
hmm, i will be on the way down after i get out of work friday morning.


heeh kidding, but that does sound good

Hopefully they are! I made the cookies last night and they're excellent. We'll be in Columbus until the end of August, but then we'll move to Philadelphia!

I haven't tried it, but it doesn't sound like it will fail if you are careful. Try it and see! That would be a wonderful birthday gift.

Thanks! I already gave him his real present, I bought tickets to the Yes cncert in July. He loved those!

This one doesn't count, because I asked him what he wanted and then vetoed him and asked if he wanted ice cream sandwiches instead. (I don't know how to make what he said first).

Here's a pic of the cookies!

The cookies look so tasty!

Can I have one?

Thanks! I'm really happy with how they turned out, they are very soft and fluffy, almost brownie-like. I think because they don't have any brown sugar in them?
