Two delicate melt-in- your mouth buttery shortbread biscuits sandwiching creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

For as long as i can remember shortbread biscuits have been one of my favs. Once i take a bite of these cookies i literally cannot stop. It’s just the rich tender crumbly texture of shortbread biscuits that i just love. Traditionally shortbread biscuits are made from one part white sugar, two parts butter and three parts flour. High quality butter and pure vanilla extract are a must for a good quality shortbread. My favourite vanilla extracts are Taylor and Colledge Queen Vanilla Bean Extract and Nielsen-massey vanilla extract. Waitrose stock both vanilla extracts in their supermarkets and Nielsen can be found in Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons.

Loaded with vanilla ice cream these biscuits make a wonderful summer dessert. I am sure these cookies will be fab with salted caramel ice cream or whatever flavor of ice cream you love. If you love cookies and ice cream then this dessert is for you. Heaven in a dessert, just absolutely sublime.
