Chocolate Cookie Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT
I hope you all remember when I warned you about all of the berries coming your way from Gringalicious. I wasn’t kidding around. It’s going to be berry season soon!
I have an obsession with berries. Call me crazy if you like but I think I’d choose fresh berries over chocolate at every opportunity. I can eat so many of them.
)Now I may prefer berries to chocolate, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have an almost equal love for chocolate. Oh, and when you put the two of them together……amazing! And if you involve ice cream and cookies in this delicious equation then you’re looking at a pretty over the top dessert!
These were a creation of the moment, guys. I really didn’t put much thought into them at all. I was making chocolate chip cookies while staring at a crate of fresh raspberries and then they somehow found their way into the cookies. Then I remembered that there was some ice cream in the freezer that I wanted to use and,voila! -> raspberry chocolate awesomeness is born!
I love it when this happens. Don’t get me wrong, I put a lot of thought, time, and effort into planning recipes most of the time. It’s just that small percentage of instances that are spontaneous, the thoughtless epiphanies, they always seem to be the best! So I’m hoping you get the chance to try these and they just so happen to be perfect for Valentine’s Day next month!
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.
Also, a huge shoutout to @rigaronib for designing my logo!

Ingredients
1 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 fresh raspberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
chocolate ice cream (if you'd like to make it you can try the chocolate ice cream I used for this recipe)
additional fresh raspberries (optional)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Cream butter and sugars together in bowl of stand mixer. Scrape sides of bowl and add eggs; beat until fluffy. Add vanilla, soda, and salt. Add flour one cup at a time and beat after each addition. Stir in chocolate and fresh raspberries (don't worry when they smash, that's the "swirl" part).
Line a cookie sheet with parchment and roll dough into balls, about 2 inches in diameter, and place about 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Divide each ball in half and press each half down slightly to form a tall disc. Top one half with a few frozen berries and place second half on top and press down over berries. Top with a few more berries and press into dough.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until edges start to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes then place in freezer for about 1 hour.
When cookies are cold, assemble sanwiches by spreading chocolate ice cream in between the down sides of two cookies and press them together. If desired, press fresh raspberries into ice cream around the sides.
Serve immediately or freeze until ready to serve.

Upvoted and resteemed
really nice
Keep calm and:
Oh my gosh, these looks insane. I want one now!
I wish I could figure out how to ship my creations, make a profit and still have a life. I haven't figured all of that out yet, but I do think about it. Who knows, I have thought of starting off simple. My Dad keeps encouraging me to work on the perfect brownie, that can be packaged and survive a trip to Europe from here. Again, it's a whole world that I am not sure I want to enter.
I am thrilled you stopped by and left an awesome comment, and of course I am very thankful for the upvote as well.
I hope your time in Seychelles is going splendidly?!
@gringalicious do you think there is anyway we can connect over Instagram or perhaps Skype? I'm a student in a business class and would love to interview you for the secrets to your success. And pick your brain on some of the more business aspect of what you do!
~Thanks

Ok my dear! Thank you very much for your care, i close all the doors and windows, all will be fine, just the electricity i think after will cut.
Gorgeous food photography, as always. I love your staging, as always
Thank you so much @noboxes!
I am with you on the berries over chocolate! And berries with ice cream -- that's hard to top, except berries with ice cream and cookies. And then chocolate, lol. I've been trying to stay away from cookies, but your photo was irresistible. It's so neat when cooking ideas and recipes come from the inspiration of the ingredients. And here's to the return of berry season! I think the strawberries will be the first. I'm ready to roast some, like you had in an earlier post!
Yeah, I think I remember a post you did about roasting the strawberries, I want to try that this year. If I remember right, I told you about grilled bananas - LOL. Have a great weekend @haphazad-hstead
It was your post about roasted strawberries: https://steemit.com/photography/@gringalicious/basil-brie-roasted-strawberry-crostini-food-photo-shoot
