Last night, I decided to distract myself from our adoption wait by seeking out the answer to a question I've been thinking about for a long, long time. You know how it is... you get to wondering about something but you never bother to find out... then one day, you just can't take it anymore. You have to know. This is how it was with me last night. Here's what happened:
THE QUESTION: Can you actually make Chocolate Chip cookies out of the little pieces of dough they put in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream?
We began with a half gallon of our favorite brand, all natural Bryers.
As Connor and I each ate a bowl of ice cream, each time we encountered a morsel of cookie dough, we spit it into the bowl.
These morsels were combined to make a giant clump of cookie dough. It's about the size of a large marble.
Into the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
The result... but is it any good?
Surprisingly, YES! It wasn't the best cookie ever but we all tried a bite and agreed that you indeed CAN make chocolate chip cookies out of the cookie dough they put in ice cream.
I'll have to admit I was surprised... I didn't think it would work. Next I'm gonna try it with those "cookie dough bites" they sell at the movies.
You have the cleanest pizza stone I've ever seen.

So, just as a recap, you made a single cookie out of the pieces of dough that you and your son spit out while eating a bowl of ice cream?
That is both gross and fantastic.

This is a beautiful experiment. Good job! I'm surprised at how little cookie dough was there.

Ah, over a second reading, I see you didn't eat the whole half gallon—just two bowls.
