To get these Chocolate Chip Cookie Cup Sundaes going, you’ll want to print the ice cream shoppe place mats and table card that were just beautifully designed by Joanna at Cutify Creative. After that, you’ll just need to grab a few more items:

Cookie Dough
Now, let’s talk about cookie dough. I am a baker. It’s what I do. It’s what I love and I like to think I’m even a little bit known for my cookies BUT pre-made, refrigerated cookie dough is just so easy. Sometimes (ahem… today) I choose quick over homemade and it’s still wonderfully delicious. If you really want to go all out, I totally applaud you. Use your favorite cookie recipe or try this favorite from Amy at The Idea Room:
¼ c. brown sugar ½ c. sugar 1 egg ¼ c. butter ¼ c. butter flavored shortening 1 ⅛ c. flour ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. vanilla ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cookie Cups
Alrighty, got your dough? Let’s get going on turning it into cups that are perfect little ice cream bowls!
Date Night
It’s time for the main event!! The part where you not only get to eat dessert (you know, besides those little snitches of cookie dough you definitely ate while making these, or was that just me?!) but you also get to spend some quality time with the love of your life! Setting up the rest of the date is ridiculously simple.
Just print out the place mats (there’s a his and hers version) that are filled with adorable conversation-coaxing games, grab a pen and get playing (and eating)!
If ice cream, cookies and cute games aren’t enough, try the challenges on the table card. The design was inspired by those old-fashioned ice cream parlors and you can simply cut a couple of slits to put it together as additional table decor. In true competitive fashion, the challenges on each side of the of the table card are different, so see who can complete the most! Fair warning, there’s no way you won’t laugh through these challenges.
Variations
The possibilities are seriously ENDLESS—Try different cookie dough, different ice cream flavors, add toppings, add friends and make it a cookie cup ice cream sundae bar! Please tell me you see why this is the BEST dessert ever!
