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

Paper Pups: The Ultimate Craft Book for Dog Lovers {REVIEW & GIVEAWAY}


Do you craft with your Corgi...
Bead with your Bulldog...
Sew with your Scottie...
Decoupage with your Doxie? 


As for me, I do a lot of mixed media with my mutts.  Whether you're a fan of the big breeds or the teacup tinies, if you're a creative person with an affinity for canine companionship, I have a book for you:  Paper Pups  by Hiroshi Hayakawa (Lark Crafts, May 2013). 
Paper Pups has 35 fun paper projects for making three-dimensional paper dogs using a combination of origami and kirigami techniques.  The best part about this book (besides all the irresistible canines) is that the projects don't require a lot of special equipment or supplies.  The templates that you need are included in the book and are already to scale.  All you do is photocopy the desired template on to a piece of paper.  Then, use your scissors, a craft knife, and a bone folder (or straight edge) to bring your pup to life!  No glue or tape required!
The projects range from very easy to advanced.  My 9-year-old daughter and I chose the Dashchund, which is rated "EASY" (2nd level in a four level rating system).  The step-by-step instructions were well-written and easy-to-follow.  My daughter got a little frustrated when it came to some of the rounded folds, but all in all she was able to do about 80% of the project all by herself.  Not bad at all!  
We were so pleased with the results and will definitely be making more.
