Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is the perfect summer treat! Cookie dough and ice cream are delicious on their own, but when you mix them together, magic happens!

I read a book today.

Yes, the whole thing.

I read a book yesterday, too. All of it.

I’m sort of a freak about books. I don’t read for a month or two and then all of a sudden I download every book I can find on my kindle and I spend days and days just laying around reading. It’s ridiculous.

Anyway, my most recent book was about a man cheating on his wife. The story was told from both the perspective of the wife and the mistress. It was rough, man. My eyes are all swollen and my teeth feel slimy from crying.

Side note: am I the only one whose teeth feel slimy after crying? I hate that feeling. Haaaaate it.

So, if you need me over the next few weeks, I’ll be obsessively checking my husband’s collars for lipstick and sniffing him for perfume. He’s going to be so excited that I read that book, I just know it.

Lucky him, because of the book I was feeling sad and hormonal so I made ice cream. It’s supposed to cure everything, right?

This cookie dough ice cream absolutely does whatever problem you have.

Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream – double doses of cookie dough flavor here!

It’s not vanilla ice cream with chunks of cookie dough throughout like you find in the store.

No.

It’s cookie dough flavored ice cream with cookie dough chunks.

Double cookie dough, you guys. Perfect for devouring after reading a sad book.

(Y’all keep asking for the book titles! The first one I read was Emily Giffin’s Love the One You’re With. I really liked this one. The second book was Emily Giffin’s Heart of the Matter. It was a really stressful read and I didn’t love the ending. Both of these deal with cheating on a spouse and I don’t recommend reading them back to back. I’ll be checking my husband’s cell phone for the foreseeable future, just in case.)
