Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda with 1 teaspoon water and set aside. Cream together shortening, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add vanilla, eggs and baking soda/water mix. Gradually beat in flour and salt. Mix in chocolate chips. Divide the mixture between 3 greased 9 inch cake pans (or a 9×13 inch pan for bars) and spread out. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes (20-25 minutes for 9×13) until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely. Flip the pans over and smack the bottom to release the cookie. Put it on a platter and spread slightly softened vanilla ice cream over it. Working quickly, do the same with the middle layer. Top with remaining chocolate chip cookie and a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate letting some drip down the sides. Promptly put the cake into the freezer until ready to serve.
Recipe adapted from Nestle.

I wanna be friends with you because you know how to share a dessert, dang, this looks GREAT!
This looks and sounds divine! I cannot wait to try this along with several other of your recipes!
YUM!! We are having 20+ teenagers over for dinner on Tuesday (my husband is a youth pastor) and this will be a PERFECT dessert!
If you freeze it, how long do you usually let it set out before serving?
Thanks again!
Wow! This looks unbelievably good! I am adding this to my list of recipes to try. Returning your visit from FNF. New GFC and Facebook follower. Thanks for stopping by!
This looks amazing!!!! Question for you–if I was just going to make the bars in a 9×13 pan, what temp and time to bake it?
~Thanks!!!!
Erin
Erin-
You are set up as a NO REPLY blogger so I cannot email you back to answer your question. You bake it at the same temp for 20-25 minutes for a 9×13.
