Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by Roxanne J.R.

"An extremely delicious looking cookie from Picky Palate blog. The recipe calls for your favourite vanilla ice cream but I am sure you can experiment with other flavours. I tried it using cherry-vanilla ice cream and milk chocolate chunks. I made them really large and they turned out soft and melted in my mouth. Delicious."
