We LOVE icecream at our house. We especially love a scoop of icecream on top of a brownie or a chocolate chip cookie. So imagine how excited I was when I found this idea to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Bowls. We whipped some up the other night for our family home evening treat (Monday evenings) but used our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. They were a hit!
Here is the recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. butter flavored shortening
1 1/8 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1. To make the cookie cups, beat together the shortening, butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder, and flour, then gradually stir them into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a flat disk, and wrap it in plastic. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
4. Heat the oven to 375°. Turn two 12-cup muffin tins bottom side up and cover 10 of the cup bottoms with squares of aluminum foil (use every other cup so there’s some space between them).
5. Unwrap 1 disk of dough, place it between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and roll it out to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 4-inch circles of dough and place each one over a cup bottom, smoothing out any cracks. Repeat with the other disk, rerolling and reusing any scraps.
6. Bake the cookie cups for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and cookies together from the muffin pan. Peel off the foil and let the cups cool completely on a rack. Just before serving, fill each cookie cup with a scoop of ice cream. Makes about 9-10.
I was also thinking how great this would be to do with any cookie dough. Chocolate cookie dough would be delicious with vanilla or strawberry icecream! Or what about sugar cookie dough with vanilla icecream and/or just topped/or filled with your favorite berries. DE.LI.CIOUS!

Wow, I hope this isn’t what we missed out on last night. :) We missed you. Nick said today, Mom, I thought last night was supposed to be a party!
Would it work if you bought already made dough? You know the kind you can buy in the dairy section in a sleve
Peg, yes I have done that before and it worked great.
oh that is too cool! what a great idea thanks!
AMAZING, yet again! LOVE this idea… can’t wait to try it Amy! Hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day!
Looks yummy! I’m going to have to try this one!!
Yummo! What a great idea! Thank you. LOVE your site.
love it!!
I found your blog on “One pretty Thing” and i am hooked. I love your ideas and you have such a beautiful family.
WoW! Just the kind of treat my family will FLIP over!!! Thanks!
Yes Tara…This is what I was planning to bring for dessert. Sorry! Thanks for the nice comments. I had a nice Mother’s Day but plan to have a real one when my hubby is not out of town and my baby is not sick. We had to miss all of the festivities! But isn’t that what being a mom is about some days? At least my baby is really snuggly when she is sick. Hope the rest of you had a great day!
YUMMY!
Hello, I’ve just strolled into your blog for my first visit. You and I have a lot in common.
I enjoy playing and creating new designs with food and craft items too.
I look forward to coming by your charming spot again. I hope you can come by for a visit and see the gifts ideas I had posted. My decorative passion is French Country which carries over in my posts.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
I have just found your blog and I am in love with it! Especially this idea, it has me drooling and itching to bake! My kiddos and hubs will love it.
I am having friends over next week and I think this will be perfect!
Chocolate chips cookies are my most favorite thing ever — what a great new excuse to make them.
Sounds wonderful. I will be making these for my daycare kids tomorrow!
Thank you so much for this. So fun and yummy. Just letting you know, in case anyone wanting to make this has an egg allergy, this can be made by substituting 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water (stir and let sit for two minutes before putting in) for the egg.
Great idea!! I was just reading through the instructions though, and wondered which you meant–baking soda as it says in the ingredients, or baking powder as it says in the directions? thanks!
Amy do you know how long this cookie dough can stay in the fridge? I have been so busy I forgot about it..ooopppss
Thanks so much
