My friend let me keep a portion of the leftover cookies from from our movie night, because eating six boxes in one sitting would have been obscene.
The samoas were especially a lucky gift because of a special combination I heard about as I was down to my last two samoas early in the girl scout season.
My boss told me, when I was literally finishing these two off, that she had a great milkshake with samoas and coffee ice cream.
So now that samoas had been replenished, I decided to try this when I had to work a double shift at the library, hoping it would enliven me from my Friday night video game hangover with the guys.
I picked out a Haagen Daaz cappacino gelato that was on sale to make this tasty treat.
While this first try was tasty and delightfully textured from the caramel and coconut, this milkshake did not wake me up.
Here is the updated recipe:
Half a pint of coffee ice cream
2 samoas and 2 trefoils (the shortbread cookies)
Milk
Coffee
A few ice cubes
The second try was definitely full of caffeine and helped me through my library shifts over a two day period.
However, I will have to make sure I add more samoas next year because this milkshake tasted predominantly of coffee.
Hi there. I googled best coathloce chip cookie recipe, or something similar and came across several recipes. Yours looked the closest to what I wanted. There’s a bakery in town that makes the best coathloce chip walnut cookies. They’re slightly dry-chewy-crunchy on the outside and moist-chewy-chocolatey on the inside with at least a walnut bite every other bite So I followed your recipe pretty close, just adding some walnuts and maybe a little less coathloce chips. Also, I didn’t have baking soda and felt ashamed to substitute a larger portion of baking powder. I do not own a mixer so I improvised doing it all by hand. I kept the butter a little colder but it probably is best to do this with a mixer. Despite the inconsistencies, Wow!!! I was not dissapointed. I just ate 2 and a half with a glass of milk. After writing this comment, they’ll have cooled the proper amount of time. I think I’ll go have another right now. Thank you for sharing!
