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.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup rainbow nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the cream cheese, egg, extracts and beat together until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined.
Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
Place sprinkles in small bowl. Scoop a ball of dough (#40 portion scoop/disher, purple handle, 30 grams, 1.6 Tablespoons) and roll gently between your hands. Roll ball in sprinkles to coat, then place on baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls approx. 2” apart. Use a glass or jar with a flat bottom to flatten the cookies until they are ½” high. You can get about 12 cookies to a pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes (on center rack, one pan at a time). Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet. Repeat with remaining pans.
Notes:
This recipe works with Jimmie style sprinkles as well.
Do you remember those Make-a-Plate projects from your childhood? You'd draw on a special piece of paper, send it to the factory, and a few weeks later would have a fabulous melamine plate? I'm still a big fan of those plates, but I'm thrilled to say that I've learned a new technique that allows you to apply your own artwork and images to real ceramic dinnerware . It's like Make-a-Plate, but ALL GROWN UP! Interested? Read on... Several months ago I came across The New Book of Image Transfer by Debba Haupert. In this book, Haupert explains in depth how to transfer images using Lazertran Waterslide Decal Paper to such materials as wood, leather, pottery, glassware, metal and ceramics -- making it possible to create completely customized, professional looking transfer projects at home. I purchased myself a copy, but as often happens, life got in the way and the book was shelved. Fast forward a few months...I'm co-hosting a Tea Time Ba
One of my favorite characters from vintage Halloween folk art is the black cat ~ always sporting a mischievous look and a cheeky grin. Last year, I transformed a trio of styrofoam pumpkins from the dollar store into paper mache folk art . This year, with the same $1 budget in mind, I set to work on a classic blown plastic jack-o-lantern treat bucket -- the same jolly guy that's been around since I was a kid. Although I'm nostalgic for his familiar orange mug, I thought it would be fun to transform him into a wiley black cat. So, one afternoon, my daughter and I grabbed an old newspaper and our Mod Podge and set to work...

Last summer I taught a chocolatiering class for children. We covered a variety of techniques, but my favorite (and the one that really appealed most to my "inner child") was the project using a quick setting, flexible, silicone modelling compound to make custom chocolate molds. Being a child of the 70s, and a diehard Star Wars fan, my immediate thought was HAN SOLO! Yes, I am not only a culinary geek, but a pop culture & Star Wars nerd as well (and proud of it). My friend Giuseppe whose son was taking the class had the same idea, and much to my delight, had the original action figure of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite! The modelling compound was costly, so I ended up having the kids in the class make molds of sea shells, rather than casting larger toys, so Han got a reprise. A few weeks ago, we had some of our good friends over for dinner, and guess who came along? Han Solo. Apparently Giuseppe had decided that we had put off Han's cocoa inca
