Cookies & Ice Cream

Oh ice cream again.  Summer provides the perfect excuse to eat ice cream, to sample as many varieties as you possibly can stomach.  What can be better than to feel that refreshing cold on a blazing summer day?  Add some cookies to the mix for a more "substantial" treat.

These are chocolate chip cookies; of course, you can use any kind of cookies you like.  I always use chocolate chip cookies since they are quite standard, and pair well with any ice cream flavor.  These are vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups & chocolate morsels.  Of course, you can substitute with any kind of ice cream you wish.  I merely wished to experiment, although my samplings never venture far from anything having to do with peanut butter or chocolate, since I enjoy them both.  And, I am also a firm believer in aggregation, especially when it comes to tasty treats!
