..cinnamax skookie..

it's skookie time again!!  while we were in nyc, we went to a place called the big gay ice cream shop.  last year, when i was there, i went to the big gay ice cream truck (they didn't have the store yet).  now that they have the store, they've added a few more items to the menu- one being ice cream sandwiches.  i saw the cinnamax ice cream sandwich (snickerdoodles/cinnamon ice cream) and just HAD to have one.  it was amazeness!  i knew that i could easily re-create the recipe when i got home but i also knew that i didn't want to make ice cream sandwiches.  i've made them before and i just felt like they required way too much effort.  so, i decided to turn it into a skookie :)  holy yumO!  even better than the ice cream sandwich because it comes hot out of the oven and the ice cream just melts... MmMmmm.  oh, i also snuck a few cinnamon chips in there, to make it extra cinnamony!  they were just sitting there, so lonely, in my cupboard... :) ha!  happy weekend!!!!!  indulge and enjoy!!

cinnamax skookie

snickerdoodles:

• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 c. shortening
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 3/4 c. flour
• 2 t. cream of tartar
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 c. cinnamon chips
• 3 T. sugar
• 1 t. cinnamon

preheat oven to 375. combine butter, shortening and sugar. add eggs and vanilla. sift flour, tartar and baking soda and add to wet ingredients. add cinnamon chips. now, how much dough you'll need, depends on your skillet size... i'd say i used about a 1/4 of the dough. roll into a huge ball and roll in the cinnamon/sugar mix. bake for 13-15 mins.

cinnamon ice cream:

• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• a couple teaspoons of cinnamon (depending on how much cinnamon you like)

let the ice cream soften a bit. mix in cinnamon. refreeze. scoop on top of the skookie.
