Cookies and ice cream: two perfect desserts that become the ultimate satisfier for any sweet tooth once they\u2019re combined. With cookies, you have the perfect bite-sized dessert (okay, maybe a few bites).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a chocolate chip purist or a flavourful adventure seeker, there\u2019s sure to be a cookie to quell your craving. With ice cream, it\u2019s a classic summer treat, in a cup or a cone (or straight from the tub with a spoon). From gourmet flavours to traditional favourites, smooth and luscious or chock full of chunks, there\u2019s no wrong way to enjoy ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this how-to guide, we mashed up both sweet treats for a dessert extravaganza! Discover our curated selection of Farm Boy ice creams, gelatos, and sorbets paired with some of the tastiest cookies in our stores<\/a><\/strong>. Why settle for one delicious thing when you can (and should) have two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tartness of this plant-based frozen dessert rounds out the warm nuttiness of the vegan cookie. The maple sugar and maple syrup in the cookie pair beautifully with the blueberry flavour of this dairy-free treat, while the crispy, crunchy texture works well crumbled over a couple scoops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate and vanilla ice cream is marbled with a gooey swirl of caramel in this ice cream flavour. Try it paired with our Oatmeal Cookies<\/a><\/strong>! The warm, caramelized flavour of brown sugar in the cookie echoes the caramel swirl. Since they\u2019re crispy rather than soft baked, enjoy them crumbled over top or as part of an ice cream sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortbread has a buttery, rich texture that needs a little something extra to perk it up. The lemon flavour of this cookie helps, but when you pair it with our Classic Pistachio Ice Cream<\/a><\/strong>, you have magic. The salty nuttiness of the pistachios is the BFF of butter and citrus. We recommend mixing crumbled Lemon Shortbread Cookies<\/a><\/strong> directly into the ice cream for a tasty surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookies + cake + ice cream is a delicious triple threat when it comes to dessert! While it might seem like overkill, there\u2019s no way you can be too much<\/em> when it comes to a sweet sensation like these. The vanilla base of the ice cream allows the chocolate cookie chunks to pop, while the rainbow sprinkles keep things fun.

Like their dairy-filled counterparts, this vegan version blends chocolate and peanut butter for a tasty, indulgent dessert.

The flip side of chocolate ice cream and peanut butter cookies: peanut butter ice cream and chocolate cookies!

If this were a normal banana ice cream, we\u2019d suggest playing it safe with a simple shortbread or sugar cookie. But this is a roasted banana ice cream, full of decadent caramel notes and stuffed with almonds and dark chocolate chunks. Enhance those flavours by choosing a Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Cookie<\/a><\/strong>. Packed with dark chocolate and butterscotch chips, they\u2019re slow-baked and have just the right amount of sweetness, making them a delicious complement and not a competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White chocolate tends to be on the sweeter side since it doesn\u2019t have cocoa solids to balance it out. With that in mind, pairing it with our Wild Blueberry Boom Ice Cream<\/a><\/strong> allows the tart wild blueberry ripple to balance the sweet cookie.
