Chonky Boys: The Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches that Scream Summer!

Image
Featuring my thick and nuggy Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these ice cream sandwiches are the stuff that summer dreams are made of.  If you've ever had the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Disneyland , you are going to LOVE these!  These big and bold chocolate chip cookies are based on a recipe from my culinary school studies at Auguste Escoffier, but with a few modifications to give them that Jennuine touch.  They make the perfectas book for a fat slice of real vanilla bean ice cream.  And those mini chips?  You just gotta have that extra cronch! Thank goodness this recipe only makes 8 sandwiches, otherwise I would be eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner.  This way, my big family can help save me from my inner child diet-saboteur.   Print With Image Without Image Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Yield: 8 Author: Jenn Erickson Loaded with chocolate chips and buttery, brown-sugary vanilla flavor, these mall-sized cookies form a perfect partnership with a

Dinner time is an important time for families to sit down, share the events of the day and tuck in to a healthy and delicious meal.  At the end of a long day, however, I often find that I lack the energy to put on an elaborate production in the kitchen.  That's why I'm thankful for a handful of treasured recipes that allow me to prepare fantastic meals that the whole family enjoys, but take under 15 minutes to whip up.


My most recent such find is the Baked Crusted Salmon from McCormick.com.  This simple, elegant dish is as perfectly suited to a family dinner as it would be to impress a date.  


Accepting an opportunity to work with McCormick was a no-brainer.  After all, McCormick spices have been a part of my kitchen as far back as I can remember.  McCormick Lemon-Pepper is my favorite seasoning on broiled Tilapia and baked chicken.  A tuna sandwich made with Lawry's® Seasoned Salt always takes me back to childhood!  

"... and bake at 450° for 10 minutes!"

Growing up on the Monterey Peninsula, I've had my share of great salmon.  Therefore, this recipe was going up against some pretty weighty competition.   No doubt exists in my mind, however, that this simple recipe yields the most delicious baked salmon I've ever tasted -- at home or in a restaurant.  It is simply perfect!

Here's the recipe:

Baked Crusted Salmon

from McCormick
serves 4

Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix seasonings in small bowl.
 
Step 2:  Place fish, skin-side down, in lightly greased baking pan. Lightly brush with oil. Sprinkle seasoning mixture evenly over fish.
 
Step 3:  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

That's it!

While the salmon was baking, I whipped up a very quick and healthy side dish -- Lemony Cucumber Bulghur with a Greek Yogurt Dill Dressing.  I'll be sharing the recipe here tomorrow!
