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

Gluten-Free Baking: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies


On an adventure up the coast a few weeks ago, my friend Kelly and I stopped at a wonderful little bakery where I purchased two gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies.  The first I enjoyed with my cup of coffee and the second I tucked into my glove box to save for my daughter.  After a day of thrifting and fabric shopping, we returned to the car where we were greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies.  In the heat of the car, my cookie had reached the perfect temperature for maximum chocolate meltiness.  It never made it to my daughter. That warm, peanut-buttery morsel has been on my mind, and yes, the guilt has been nagging me.  So, this past weekend, I tried to come up with my own version.  They were delicious indeed, and like the original, are best when warm.  You've heard of icebox cookies?  These are the perfect glove-box cookies!  



Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies -- Gluten free

(makes approx. 30)

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick butter), softened
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2/3 cup coconut flour
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz. chocolate chunks 
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Preheat oven to 350° F

Step 1:  In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the peanut butter, butter and brown sugar.  Beat in the egg and vanilla till smooth.

Step 2:  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt.  Add to the peanut butter mixture and mix just to combine.  Stir in chocolate chunks on low speed.

Step 3:  Scoop dough into 2 TB portions.  Roll dough between palms to form a ball, then roll in granulated sugar.  Arrange, 12 to an ungreased cookie sheet (you'll use 3 cookie sheets, or make three rounds of cookies).  Refrigerate pans of portioned dough for 15 minutes.

Step 4:  Bake (1-2 pans at a time) in middle racks of oven, for 12 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Use a spatula to flatten each cookie.  When cool enough to handle, they're ready to eat.
