What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar.
3. Add egg and vanilla, then mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing at a low speed until the dry mixture is completely combined.
6. Scoop the dough into a greased muffin pan using an ice cream scoop, dividing it evenly between 12 cups.
7. Press down the center of each cookie with a small spice container, creating a cup shape.

10. Scoop your favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor into each cookie cup.
11. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the ice cream.
12. To save your sundaes for later, place them on a tray in the freezer to harden. Then, before serving, let them sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes.
