I'm known for my desserts. These sandwiches combine the cookies I like best with ice cream.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter flavor shortening

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup vanilla or 1 cup white chocolate chips

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

Directions:

1. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the chips and pecans.
2. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. To make ice cream sandwiches, place a scoop of ice cream on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies; wrap in plastic wrap. Place on a baking sheet; freeze. Yield: about 2 dozen sandwiches.
