Enjoy the smooth, richness of butter pecan ice cream between two chewy chocolate chip cookies. A delightful treat with the right mix of tastes and textures.

Ingredients: 1 quart vanilla ice cream. 1 cup chopped pecans. 1/4 cup butter, melted. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 12 chocolate chip cookies.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 175F 350C. To make the pecans sweet, melt the butter and add the brown sugar to a bowl. Place the pecan mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every now and then, until it turns golden brown. Allow to cool completely. Vanilla ice cream will get softer if you leave it out at room temperature for a while. Once the pecan mixture is cool, mix it into softened ice cream until it's evenly spread out. Place a scoop of pecan ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. Carefully press the cookies together to make a sandwich. Put each sandwich in its own piece of plastic wrap and freeze it for at least an hour before serving.
