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

Including a Coupon Code & Sweepstakes


You've lovingly baked the cookies, dipped the chocolates, and sugared the sugarplums.  Your beautiful edible gifts deserve more than the old paper plate and plastic wrap treatment right?  But it can be costly and time consuming to track down the right boxes, ribbon, labels and other pretties to get that professional bake-shop look, no?  No.

Decorative treat bags, boxes and wrappers from Martha Stewart Crafts add the finishing festive touch to your homemade gifts with no muss and no fuss – so they’ll look as good as they taste!
 

Recently I had the pleasure of trying out a package of Martha Stewart Crafts Modern Festive Match Box packaging kit.  The kit includes everything you need - except the treats - for five gifts: boxes, labels, ribbon and paper inserts.  I used my boxes to package my newest holiday confection -- Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles with Raspberry Dust.  The boxes aren't only great for treats however -- Just imagine how darling a little t-shirt or romper would look all neatly packaged inside.  Stripes are always en vogue for Christmas – candy cane stripes, that is. 

Here are some of my other favorite holiday packaging choices from Martha Stewart Crafts:

New this year from Martha Stewart Crafts: illustrated “Wonderland Gingerbread House Treat Boxes” designed to give your baked goods a holiday-inspired home…one you’ll be proud to bring to the homes of friends, co-workers and loved ones! Just be sure to clearly mark the gift tags so everyone knows whose is whose.
Want to give someone an assortment of your favorite baked goodies? The “Cottage Christmas Compartment Treat Boxes” from Martha Stewart Crafts have four sections, all in one gorgeous box adorned with Christmas greetings and timeless red ribbon.
If you’re the snow queen of cupcakes, check out Martha Stewart Crafts’ “Snow Lace Treat Wrappers” with snowflake lace designs in red and icy blue. This elegant pattern also adorns the “Snow Lace Treat Boxes,” which have a porthole on the side to let people see the yumminess within.
Martha Stewart Crafts can even dress up your breads and fruitcakes with the “Wonderland Bakeable Trays.” Beautiful and functional, you can bake right in these trays – then use the cellophane bags, ribbon and labels to turn your confections into gifting perfection.
