Lemon Zinger

Emily Luchetti is a genius. As evidence, I cite her recipe for lemon ice-cream sandwiches made with ginger snaps.



The cookies by themselves don't snap-- they're a little soft. HOWEVER, the recipe intends them for use in the sandwich. Once frozen, the cookies have a slight crunch but are still flexible enough to stick to the ice cream, rather than cracking into a mess. The white pepper in the dough ensures that the cookies remain wonderfully spicy in the face of 1) freezing and 2) delicious lemon ice cream. Fie on the pissy middle-aged marms that diss A Passion for Ice Cream in their amazon.com reviews: "Then she includes recipies for cookies, cakes, etc., which have nothing to do with my ice cream maker." If Marmy McMarm had tried a recipe or two, he might have realized that these cookies, cakes, etc. in fact have very much to do with ice cream and its makers. This is my new favorite treat, and-- look, Mom-- no chocolate!?!
