Don't you wish you had a cute little assistant to help bake some cookies? Thanks to Sarah Wolfe for being a star baker. She's a neat freak like her mom and dad--perfect!
Check out her chef's towel scarf.
Our goal, the ultimate dessert. Crispy chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream...ice cream sandwiches!
We used Cheryl's chocolate chip cookie recipe, featured in an October blog posting. Then at least 15 minutes prior to serving, scoop out your vanilla ice cream, put it on a flat surface like a small baking pan, and flatten with something like a bench knife. Return to the freezer so it freezes hard again. To serve, use a metal spatula or bench knife to lift the ice cream disc from the sheet pan, and place on some slightly warmed cookies. Yum.

When I came to your SF neighborhood "school" for a special afternoon session, I learned a lot and appreciated the sharing of your expertise. But, I didn't get my own chef's scarf and I didn't get two pictures on the web site. Guess I am not as charming as my granddaughter. And, I was permitted to make only bread, not special cookies and ice cream. Some folks seem to have all the breaks and all the charm. The world's just not fair.
