Cookies and Ice Cream

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Caramel Pecan Cookies

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.

  3. 3

    Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Assemble the BIG BESSIE

    Once the cookies are completely cooled, take one cookie and place a generous scoop of pralines and cream ice cream on the flat side. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

  5. 5

    Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in crushed Heath Bar to coat. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately or freeze for later enjoyment.
