Third time’s a charm.
I can’t tell you hooow many times I’ve heard this simple phrase and paid it no mind, gave it no attention, practically ignored it. No more.
I’m a changed gal. And I have these cookies to thank.
First batch: set timer for 12 minutes. Didn’t look done, tacked on another two. Crunchy, hard cookies. 😦
Second batch: set timer for 10 minutes. Still didn’t look done, tacked on another two. Slightly overly crunchy cookies. :((
Third batch: set timer for 10 minutes. Decided I was taking them out to see what would happen. DEEEEELISH soft and chewy cookies. 😀
Third time was a charm. Oh man, were these delicious. I ate a third of the batch by myself, made some into yummy ice cream sandwiches, and shared the rest with co-workers. They are all gone now and I’m left with one regret:
That I didn’t bake more. ( Or share less ;D )
These scream HOLIDAYS and beg to be put in that goodie bag or care package. They beg to be shared over hot tea and good conversation. 🙂

Sorry TCU’s not in your good graces… at least we didn’t play you this year!! All joking aside, those ice cream sandwiches look delish! I’m sad, too, that you don’t have any more because I want one NOW! 😀
Whether it is chewy or crunchy, I would still like these…as long as they’re not raw!! That’s the thing about cookies I can’t stand, one minute can really make a huge difference. Wow, you really piled on the icecream!
If I told you that I actually watched the live streaming of the premiere, could you not laugh at me… so embarrassing, but I can’t help it.
What a beautiful cookie. I am planning to make this will take your experience into consideration when I time it. Thanks for sharing that.

You ice cream sandwiches are just gorgeous!
Yum I love the idea of putting some yummy ice cream in the middle of these cookies! I love the pretty pink ribbon you used too!
I made these cookies as well and dipped half of them in some wonderful white chocolate. The taste is out of this world. I got the idea from a local bakery inside a CO-OP!
I’m just loving the ice cream sandwich version of these cookies. I can’t imagine how over-the-top delicious they must have been. In fact, it’s making me hungry for this sort of ice cream sandwich right now!
It was kind of hard to tell when these were done. But you made it work!
They look very tempting with the ice cream, yum! I’m sure even the crispy ones were pretty good, you can’t really go wrong with sugar-coated spice cookies.
how come i don’t get any? 😦
IT LOOKS SO YUMMY!
Man, those look good. Like REALLY good. Yum.
Those sandwiches look so delicious! My cookies were crunchy and I liked them, but I’d like to try to get them chewy next time.
Thanks for baking the cookies with me. I loved them! I will definitely be making them again for the holidays, but maybe a little smaller.
Yay, glad it worked out in the end! Wouldn’t mind having some of those as a gift.
Oh man, these look wonderful as ice cream sandwiches!! I made these early in the month and every time I see them on another blog I wish I’d made more 🙂 Glad you enjoyed them on the 3rd try and kudos for trying multiple times!
YUM! You are so persistant and what a great thing! The cookies filled with ice cream look scrumptious =)
YUM! I don’t think I’ve had an ice cream sandwich since I was 12 and my dad used to buy us klondike big bars… man, I loved those.. But your chewy, spicy versions look absolutely amazing! x
