INGREDIENTS

Below are some helpful notes about some of the ingredients. See recipe card below for full list of ingredients and measurements.

• Butter: Take your butter out of the refrigerator 1-2 hours before making the cookie dough.
• Brown sugar: Dark brown sugar can also be used. Both add extra flavor from molasses.
• Milk or heavy cream: Add this a half a tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you like for the cookie dough!
• All purpose flour: I recommend heat treating the flour. See more about why and how to heat treat flour below.
• Chocolate: Use good quality chocolate bars such as Lindt. I find chopped chocolate mixes in the blizzard better than chips do. I prefer chopped dark chocolate. I like how it tastes in contrast with the sweet ice cream.
• Vanilla ice cream: Use store bought or homemade vanilla ice cream. To make it easier, I like to use good quality store bought ice cream. We whip the ice cream to give it more of an airy, blizzard-like texture.

SUBSTITUTIONS

• Swap in semi-sweet, milk or white chocolate in place of dark chocolate.
• You can absolutely use regular or mini chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate.
• Make these cookie dough blizzards with chocolate or any flavor ice cream instead of vanilla.
• Layer in or drizzle some hot fudge sauce on top! I like to use the sauce from my condensed milk brownies. It’s super quick and easy. You can also use store bought hot fudge sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP ONE: Heat treat the flour. Heat treat the flour. Microwave the flour for three or four 30-second intervals, stirring in between or until flour reaches 165°F.

Alternatively, spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.

STEP TWO: Cream the butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream the sugar and butter on medium speed until creamy and combined.

Next, add the vanilla followed by the milk or heavy cream

STEP THREE: Add the flour and salt. Turn the mixer on low and add gradually add the flour and salt until combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips. 

STEP FOUR: Scoop out the cookie dough. Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the dough into balls. This will make it easier and less messy to distribute the dough into the blizzards.

STEP FIVE: Whip the ice cream. Add the ice cream to the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip the ice cream on medium until creamy. Be careful not to overmix.

Next, add the chopped chocolate, a few tablespoons of cookie dough and a couple tablespoons of hot fudge sauce (if using). Mix very briefly to combine.

STEP SIX: Assemble the blizzards. Spoon some ice cream into a glass. Crumble up a few of the cookie dough balls on top.

Next, drizzle some hot fudge sauce, followed by more ice cream. Continue layering until you reach the top of your glass. Top with a few balls or one giant scoop of cookie dough enjoy immediately!
