Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This past Monday, the Second Annual AirBake Extreme Cookie Challenge took place, it’s a cookie recipe contest sponsored by Wearever. The Grand Prize was one by the recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “Ice Cream Cones”, and I have the recipe!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough “Ice Cream Cones”
by Heather & Alexa Cohen from Owings Mills, MD

Ingredients

For the “Ice Cream Cones”

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (preferably toasted; you can substitute pecans or almonds)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Pinch salt

For the “Cookie Dough”

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons malted milk powder (optional)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2/3 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Whipped cream

Maraschino cherries (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. To make “ice cream cones”, in a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add walnuts, flour, and salt. Stir until well-combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.

3. Depending on the size of your sheet pan, place 4-6 rounded teaspoons of dough on an ungreased
AirBake sheet, at least 5 inches apart (the dough spreads a great deal).

4. Bake each batch for about 10 minutes, until most of the bubbling stops and the cookies turn a walnut brown. Let the cookies rest on the sheet pan for about 1 to 2 minutes, until they are easily removed from the baking sheet with a spatula. Allow to cool slightly longer if cookies wrinkle when a spatula is slid under the cookie. If too stiff to remove, put back into the oven for a couple of minutes to soften up.

5. With the small spatula, wrap the cookie around a cylindrical object such as a funnel or water cooler paper cup. Or roll a 6″x10″ piece of parchment paper into a cone and cut it into a 5″ cone and wrap the cookie around it to resemble a cone. Repeat with the rest of the cookies. Again, if they become too stiff to remove, put back into the oven for a couple of minutes to soften up. The ice cream cones can be made ahead and stored in an air tight container until ready to top with the raw cookie dough.

6. To make “cookie dough”, in a large bowl combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and malted milk powder (optional).

7. In another large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and mix until well blended.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

8. To make the finished “ice cream cones”, spoon a rounded tablespoon of the “cookie dough” into the “ice cream cones.” Top with whipped cream and a cherry (or anything else you or your child’s heart desires, like hot fudge, caramel, sprinkles, nuts).

9. Makes about 36 cookies.

Yum! One of the finalist recipes has a funny name, “Extremely Chocolatey Beaver Huts”, but that’s because the finished cookie does look like a beaver hut covered in logs! Here’s that recipe:

Extremely Chocolatey Beaver Huts
by Jessie Grearson & Eleanor Sapat from Falmouth, ME

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup Quaker instant oats

1 Tbsp. cream or half and half

½ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

¼ cup white chocolate chips

¾ cup dark chocolate chips

¼ cup chopped walnuts

One Hershey’s kiss

5-6 Tbsp. Nutella (note-this is chocolate/hazelnut spread, found in grocery stores with the peanut butter)

1/6 bag thin stick pretzels, some broken, for decorating huts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. In large bowl beat together butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy.

3. In another bowl whisk together flour, cocoa, oats, baking soda and salt; stir into the butter mixture and add cream slowly, just enough to form a stiff, but well-blended dough.

4. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (we think of these as rocks and stones).

5. Roll by large tablespoons into rough balls, about the size of a ping-pong ball (these are your mud huts) then hide a chocolate kiss “beaver” inside one cookie.

6. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes on an ungreased AirBake cookie sheet in the preheated oven until set (watch carefully).

7. After cookies cool, spread a small amount of Nutella as muddy layer over each hut and have fun adding pretzel “sticks” to the outside of each beaver hut.

Makes 20-24 cookies.

Am not a good cook myself, but always get very enthusiastic when reading recipes and promising to myself that I will DEFINITELY try to make something delicious this time:)
thanks for the great recipes!

It seems so clear and simple when a professional describes how it should be done… and it is soooo difficult when you’re trying yourself for the first time (the more you cook, the better results are).

These are very fun! They would be great for kids parties, or even for fun loving adults. The Beaver Huts would be great to make for Beaver or Scout meetings too. Thanks for sharing these!
