Lovely photos as usual. I was expecting my meringues to look more like yours - they look great. Just the right amount of cracking.

Great photos, Kim! Thanks for showing us different ways to work with this cookie. You are always so creative! I haven't tried Thomas Keller's ice-cream recipe but now I will, thanks to you

Kim, your cookies are amazing! Mine look like cowpies in comparison, although they are delicious, and no one is complaining at this end....I didn't think there was a way to improve them until I read your post....

Praline powder - YES! I thought about the same combo, but refrained because I didn't want to make the praline powder. Might not be able to control myself if I did.

Not sure why my comment didn't post so I'll leave another one! I thought your combination of homemade ice cream with the praline powder sounded fantastic. These tempting things get better as days go by in the freezer.

great opening description,and at all great pictures!

Great photo! You always take such great food photos! Even though I pressed mine down, it still puff up on its own and I also have trouble eating it as sandwich..hahaha.. so i can only put it as a 'topper'.. :)

that's just how i feel about them!

Your cookies (and ice cream) look/sound fabulous! Great cookie photo too.
