Valentine's Day Cookies : Ice Cream Sundae Sandwiches

 This recipe from Real Simple turned out cookies that had only a minimal resemblance to the ones in their photograph. I wanted to make them because "Raspberry Puffs" sounded as though the cookies would be soft and fluffy, rather like angel food cake. They turned out to be quite crisp and much more similar to a wafer type of cookie than to any sort of cake. I was pleased to find, however, that the cookies still tasted delicious, especially once I had replaced the sour cream filling called for in the original recipe with ice cream. The result of this substitution was a finger food that tasted like a little ice cream sundae with raspberry topping.

Frankly, it would be easier to simply buy a package of vanilla wafers to make these, which is what I'll do next time. If you pick up jam, ice cream and a package of cookies, you can easily put together these last-minute munchies for your Valentine today.

I also like the option of being able to make homemade vanilla wafers OR buying them in the store for this recipe. Guess it depends how adventurous I'm feeling.

I love the way you made them into a sundae with ice cream instead of sour cream. While I love sour cream, there's no way I would have given this recipe a consideration if I had seen it in its original form, blech. Mmm, you could add chocolate syrup instead of the raspberry, too! Oh, or roll them in chopped nuts, put a cherry on top. Yes, I'm running with the sundae theme! I am going to try these, thanks!
