Okay...so here it is. The recipe. I've also got photos of each step because I'm anal that way.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
1 cup butter 2 1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts
In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars and vanilla.
Cream until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In another bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda.
Gradually add flour mixture to sugar and butter mixture until well blended.
Stir in chips (I used 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup crushed Andes mints...and omitted walnuts).
Spread dough in greased 9inch pie pans (or 1 14 inch pizza pan) and bake for 20-25 minutes. Do not overbake cookie!!!
Allow to cool in pans on cooling rack.
Remove cookies from pan and line one pan with parchment or plastic wrap. Place one cookie in pan.
Cover cookie with softened ice cream
Put other cookie on top.
Cover and freeze for several hours to allow ice cream to resolidify.
Decorate as desired and enjoy!
I did discover that the top cookie gets a little hard...the bottom one stays soft because of the ice cream. I'm going to try to see if not placing that top cookie on until right before serving helps so that it's not frozen. Otherwise, it was delicious!
