Icebox Cupcakes

A classic recipe that bears repeating. You can also assemble the cookies and cream in a line to create a simple log-style cake. Add chocolate sprinkles on top if a little helper happens to be around. (idea from Smitten Kitchen)

carton of heavy or whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
a few spoonfuls of powdered sugar
two boxes of Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers

Whip the cream and vanilla, sweetening to taste as you go. Set cupcake liners in a muffin tin and put a wafer in the bottom of each one. Add a spoonful of whipped cream, then another cookie, more cream, one more cookie, and a final bit of cream on top. Refrigerate a few hours or more before serving.

*Another fast summer treat: ice-cream sandwiches. Pick up a bag of cookies, a gallon of ice cream and a jar of good hot fudge (or other topping). Spread a thick layer of fudge on one cookie, add a big scoop of ice cream and top with second cookie. Wrap extras in plastic for another time.
