lately i have been pushing to make things from scratch, but when we were low on time, we focused on tweaking store bought and presentation. if you want an awesome dessert, and you're short on time, do the following.
buy
1 half gallon vanilla ice cream
1 half gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream
nutella (hazlenut chocolate)
1 roll slice & bake sugar cookies
1 roll slice & bake chocolate chip cookies
then
pick one meyer lemon off a tree (ok, you might not have a tree, so you can buy one)
direcs:
bake cookies (try not to burn like i did), adding cinnamon & sugar to the top of sugar cookies to make snickerdoodles
soften half container vanilla ice cream and add one lemon worth of rind and juice, refreeze
cookie 1: snickerdoodle / meyer lemon vanilla ice cream
cookie 2: chocolate chip / mint chip ice cream
cookie 3: chocolate chip / vanilla ice cream (plain) with a layer of nutella
then, prepare for people to be totally impressed.
enjoy. and try not to eat them all before they make it to the party.
(apologies for the bad lighting in all my food pics - my kitchen lacks itself some good natural light)

oh man. those ARE the new awesome.
mouth watering just thinking about em.
how is that a "short on time" recipe? if you're short on half-a-day and only have 2 hours? my short on time recipe involves stopping by your place when the ice cream sandwiches are ready...
sorry rebecca for the phrase steal, but once you eat one, you might have to agree.
fats - it's short on time because it's limited baking (10 min's per batch) and only really assembly. I'd say a half hour for a rough estimate, start to finish. I don't think that's half bad.
I'll make them next time you visit, for a post birthday treat. You'll devour them.
