It all started with “Can I Blog With You Today?” My niece asked me this a few days ago and of course my mind started running through ways to include her. Then she went and came up with her own unique way to be a part of Auntie’s blog with the amazing summertime dessert that we have decided to call Cookie Bowl Sundae!
As I spent the day trying to see how to add her into the Blog mix she was in the kitchen discovering a way to keep her cousins (my Kiddies) from going summertime mad. What’s the best way to keep Kiddies busy? Food! After a few minutes of dishes and drawers slamming there was silence. I know all you moms know silence is not always a good thing.
I went to investigate and found my niece and Kiddies hovered over a muffin tin in the kitchen with a batch of cookie dough close by.
“What are you guys doing?”
“It’s a surprise Auntie.”
OhhhhKayyy….walking away intrigued but a bit nervous at the same time LOL 😀
Then maybe 30 minutes later I smelled the evidence of the surprise followed shortly by the cutest little sundae I’ve ever seen. Here’s how she did it:
- 1 Tin Muffin Tin (12) This is to make the cookie dough into the shape of mini bowls
- 1 can PAM Spray Be sure to spray each tin to prevent cookie dough from sticking
- 1 lb Cookie Dough Does not need to be from scratch; pre made dough works fine
- 1 Pint Ice Cream Your favorite ice cream
- PreHeat the oven to 350 Degrees
- Spray muffin tin with non-stick spray (PAM)
- Take a spoon and scoop 2 scoops of cookie dough Roll into a small ball then flatten (add a bit of flour to your surface to avoid sticking)
- Take your flattened cookie dough and place it in one of the muffin spaces
- Be sure to press your dough down to the bottom of the tin and press a bit around the rim to make the shape of a bowl.
- Repeat for each muffin space
- Bake cookie ‘bowls’ for 10 minutes or according to your specific dough’s instructions
- Remove bowl from tin and scoop your favorite ice cream, add toppings to taste and serve
Don’t forget that toppings are what makes a sundae so grab all your favorites and have fun!
Watching my niece explore her creativity in the kitchen has been so much fun. Little did I know that we have a mini baker in the makings, so stay tuned for future D. Dazzle Contributions…
