You Scream...I scream...




Ice cream? Good. Chocolate chip cookies? Good. Ice cream and cookies? Gooooood. I saw this and knew I had to make it. They were so cute and yummy looking.

P.S. White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream from Safeway is to die for!

Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I used normal size milk chocolate chips because that is what I had on hand)
Directions:
1. To make the cookie cups, beat together the shortening, butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
2. In a spearate bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder and flour, then gradually stir them into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips.
3. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a flat disk and wrap it in plastic. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
4. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Turn two 12-cup muffin tins bottom side up and cover 10 of the cup bottoms with squares of aluminum foil (use every other cup so there's some space between them).
5. Unwrap 1 disk of dough, place it between 2 sheets of waxed paper and rool it out to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 4-inch circles of dough and place each one over a cup bottom, smoothing out any cracks. Repeat with the other disks, rerolling and reusing any scraps.
6. Bake the cookie cups for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and cookies together from the muffin pan. Peel off the foil and let the cups cool completely on a rack. Just before serving, fill each cookie cup with a scoop of ice cream.
