Since starting food photography and this blog my cooking and eating habits have changed. I am now more aware of ingredients that I use and why they work in recipes. I am also more adventurous with my cooking, confidently changing ingredients to make the most flavorful dishes. The biggest change is once I’ve made the meal. With the scene and camera prepped it’s a mad dash to plate the food in a presentable and mouth-watering way, then photograph the dish from different angles, all while my girlfriend is often patiently waiting for us to share a normal meal together. If I get it right we can actually eat while it’s still warm, or frozen for the purposes of this recipe. It may sound crazy but I enjoy all of this. Hopefully you enjoy these recipes and can create some memories for yourself.

Chocolate Chip Strawberry Ice Cream Cookies - www.platingpixels.comSometimes you have to go out of your way and do things you normally wouldn’t when creating a new project. I baked the cookies for this recipe towards the evening and was not able to photograph the sandwiches because of diminished natural light. I wanted to get this recipe photographed before my upcoming vacation and only had a few remaining evenings, which were almost fully booked. The next day I came straight home from work and made the ice cream sandwich to shoot in natural light. Of course I had to eat it real quick and decided to count that as dinner. Then I rushed off to tennis lessons for the rest of the evening.
Chocolate Chip Strawberry Ice Cream Cookies - www.platingpixels.comAs far as the ice cream sandwiches, the ingredients and pictures should influence you enough to try this recipe. In case you need more persuasion, these chocolate chip cookies are more of soft biscuit textured shortbread. Bite into one and they will slowly dissolve in your mouth, along with your favorite ice cream of choice. It’s a simple yet decadent snack that you can enjoy outside on a warm day or cozied up on a couch in front of your favorite movie.

How to make easy cookie ice cream sandwiches, without melted ice cream

Enjoying homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches can be a bit messy. By the time you make them and are ready to eat, they can be a bit runny. Believe me, I found this out the hard way when trying to photograph this recipe. A couple of tips to help. For one make sure the cookie is completely cooled before assembly; you can ever refrigerate them before. Once assembled with ice cream in the center, put them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This we re-set the ice cream and make it easier to enjoy.

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 3 cups fresh sliced strawberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cookies

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon butter melted, separated
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon Sucanat sugar, or large granule sugar

1 container of vanilla ice cream

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375º.

      1. Thanks Thalia! You have been missing out, but it’s never too late to try. You can technically make them with any cookie and any ice cream, that’s the fun part.
