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 we visit my brother (an amazing cook in his own right), his wife and my sweet nephew, it is a certainty that we'll be dining on some of the finest cuisine around  -- which means an extra lot considering that their two most recent cities of residence have been Las Vegas and NYC! Whether it's her paper-thin steak tartare, or a down home classic like her free-form meatloaf, my family and I are always in awe of her culinary magic!   NYC is very far from the quiet
