Author Notes
These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and salty, chewy with a slight crunch. The marshmallows also melted and transformed into caramelized deliciousness. The hickory sticks gave a hint of smokiness that went well with the smoked bourbon chocolate gelato that we got from Death in Venice and was the perfect way to top off a lovely BBQ party. The chips, pretzels, cereals and nuts can be substituted by whatever you already have at home. I hope you are having a great summer filled with ice cream sandwiches and friends get togethers. —stephanie⎜pinotte food blog

1/3 cup
crushed pretzels
-
1/4 cup
crushed pecans
-
1/3 cup
rolled or instant oats
-
1 cup

-
2 tablespoons
sesame seeds
-
2/3 cup
dark chocolate chips
-
1/2 cup
butter
-
2 tablespoons
duck fat (or more butter)
-
1/2 cup
dark brown sugar
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
-
1
large egg
-
6 cups
of your favorite ice cream
Directions
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and ground coffee.
-
To crush the hickory sticks, corn flakes, pretzels and pecans, I placed them in the bowl of a food processor and pulsed a few times. If you don’t have a food processor you can also place the ingredients in a ziplock bag wrapped in a towel and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer to a separate bowl and add oats, marshmallows, sesame seeds and chocolate chips. Toss to mix.
-
If your butter is still cold, cut it in cubes of 1-2 cm and heat it in the microwave 10 seconds at a time until softened but not melted. Place the butter, duck fat and both types of sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a big bowl with a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the egg and mix for 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
-
Add the flour mixture to the bowl and beat on low speed until there is no more dry ingredients. Top with the rest of the ingredients (hickory sticks, corn flakes, pretzels, pecans, oats, marshmallows, sesame seeds, chocolate chips) and continue mixing, still on low speed, to blend them in evenly.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place the dough in the fridge for an hour, so that it can firm up and will be easier to roll into cookies.
-
15 minutes before you take the dough out, heat the oven to 350°F. Cover two baking sheets with a Silpat or parchment paper. Place 2 tbsp of dough per cookie in your hands and roll them into a ball. Place a maximum of 6 cookies per sheet. They will spread quite a lot.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set. Let them completely cool.
-
Scoop 1 cup of ice cream on a cookie and top with a second one, now enjoy!
