I also thought about naming this post “Boys in a Hammock.” (Thanks, Jenny!)

These frozen cookie-dough “potstickers” stuffed with ice cream and served with chocolate dipping sauce just made the rounds online, sparked by this post at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, right about the time Shawn was trying to decide what to make for our son’s 14th birthday. Since he LOVES potstickers and has often called them his favorite food over the years, and like any kid he’s always up for cookie dough and ice cream, this seemed like the perfect birthday dessert for the occasion.

I admit I was a little skeptical at first, but Shawn knew from the onset these would be a big hit, and they were! Buying pre-made shortbread cookie dough eased the process, and it was all worth that first expression on our son Kindy’s face.
