            The flavorful and creamy taste of cookie dough ice cream is like no other. With each bite comes the taste of sweet cookie dough mixed with the soothing coldness of the ice cream. Ice cream on a hot day is as refreshing as jumping into the pool after being in the sun for hours. The taste is comforting and can be savored and enjoyed for as long as you make it last. The cookie dough in the ice cream brings back memories from childhood in the kitchen eating the cookie dough out of the bowl that mom is cooking in. Being able to have that cookie was the best part of the day as a kid. The ice cream melts in your mouth and reveals the hidden chunks of sugar filled cookie dough. The cookie dough and ice cream complement each other perfectly like salt and pepper or peanut butter and jelly.
