Pro Tips & Tricks
Flour should be heat treated and cooled by baking in the oven. This will kill harmful bacteria and ensure your cookie dough is safe to eat. Chill the mixing bowls, beaters, and loaf pan before beginning. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper for easy ice cream removal (and to make slicing for ice cream sandwiches or cake filling easy). If adding crushed cookies, cereal, or nuts, crush them up easily and cleanly by placing them in a zippered bag and going over them with a rolling pin. When storing cookie dough ice cream, keep it in a freezer-safe container with a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the exposed surface of the ice cream to prevent air from altering the flavor and freezer burn.
