#3 Mini Chocolate Chip Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwich Cookies

Ben & Jerry's Challenge Cookie #3: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I don't think a cookie could be any more self-explanatory or indulgent. Technically, making these cookies full size would be the equivalent to eating three cookies at once. This is a Homer Simpson kind of cookie! Moderation is key. In fact, freeze these babies and you'd get a pretty tasty ice cream sandwich. 

#2 Americone Dream Cookies

My next Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor to tackle was Americone Dream. This is a flavor created especially for/by Mr. Steven Cobert. Stephen Colbert donates his proceeds from the sale of AmeriCone Dream to charity through The Stephen Colbert AmeriCone Dream Fund. Not only is this a creative flavor, but also one with a great cause.

#1 Toffee Bar Crunch Cookies

  


I've taken a challenge upon myself; for the next few months I'm going to bake cookies based upon Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavors!!! I thought this was particularly ingenious because they always seem to be coming up with new flavors all the time. There are so many options and I'm looking forward to every one of them. This cookie is based upon Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Toffee Bar Crunch. A basic vanilla cookie dough loaded with toffee candy pieces. chewy and crunchy all in one. 

Browned Butter Banana Blondies with Brown Sugar Frosting

My nephew is an absolute monkey! For his last birthday, I made him these monkey-inspired banana treats and he (along with the rest of my family) gobbled them right up. Make these if you're ever having a nana craving. 

Dirt Pudding Cookies

Dirt pudding, or as my family likes to call it "MUD", was a staple party item while I was growing up; chocolate pudding, Cool Whip and crushed Oreo cookies make for a happy crowd. I hope you can enjoy this hand-held version of one of my childhood favorites.
