This fancy looking dessert couldn't be easier or tastier!  If you want to take the whole family to an ice cream parlor but can't really afford it, why not stop by the grocery store, pick up an inexpensive half gallon of ice cream and come home and make these?

The cookie recipe is adapted from the formula I posted about here:  http://groceryshrink.typepad.com/the_grocery_shrink_blog/2009/06/basic-drop-cookie-recipe.html

1 Cup butter, softened

2 Cups brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

3 cups rolled oats

2 cups peanut butter/chocolate chips

We baked the cookies and let them cool. Then put a scoop of ice cream in between two cookies.  Wow!  I haven't had anything that good at an ice cream parlor.  It cost us about $3 for the whole family (7) plus seconds, versus $20+ if we had eaten out.
