Reci-Peas

Oh Summertime, how we've been longing for your visit! How nice of you to have brought us delicious fruits like cherries, nectarines, plums, and peaches! When summer brings us fruit, we say, "Make ice cream sandwiches!". It's a wonderful summertime treat, and is the perfect ending to a family bbq. Of course Peas of Mind isn't going to make just any ice cream sandwiches, we've added our own healthy twist: Peach-Carrot Cobbler Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Peach-Carrot Cobbler Cookies:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 1/4 cup butter (2 1/2 sticks) room temperature
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup pureed peach (about 1 peach)
• 1/4 cup pureed carrot (about 1 large carrot)
• 3 cups Quaker oats (quick or old fashion, don't use instant)

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium bowl, thoroughly sir together flour, baking sode, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In a mixing bowl, using the high speed of an electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Beat in the carrot and peach purees.

By hand, stir in the flour mixture. When the flour is absorbed stir in the oats. Drop large tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Cook for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden.

These cookies are slightly cake like which makes for the perfect "bun" to your ice cream of choice. We suggest Vanilla Bean ice cream. If you want to make your own homemade ice cream in a Ziplock bag, check out the Puffets A La Mode reci-pea.

Yields between 18-24 cookies depending on size.
