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!

when I saw the

Does this sweet little ballerina look familiar?  It's the darling Betsy McCall,
the iconic paper doll from the 1950s and 60s.

This week she shared Millicent's recipe for
Lemon Velvet Cake

As a little ballerina, one of my most
favorite desserts was fresh strawberries 
with sour cream and brown sugar.


Somewhere along the way
I forgot about this simple treat,
