The following recipe is the last of four finalists in our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest, which challenged Turkey Hill fans to submit recipes in one of two different categories: recipes using our seasonal Ginger Snap ice cream, or recipes using any other Turkey Hill ice cream flavor. Over the next four days we’ll feature two recipes from each category and everyone will be asked to vote for their favorite beginning on Friday. The winner will receive a one year’s supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream, and the other three finalists will receive a one month supply of ice cream. Enjoy the recipes!
Our fourth and final finalist comes to us from Stefanie S. of Las Vegas, NV. This one combines two great holiday flavors — pumpkin and ginger snap. What makes this cookie-and-ice cream recipe even better is that if you have extra cookies left over (and hopefully you do), you can enjoy them with a glass of milk! If you like this recipe, stop by tomorrow and throughout next week to vote for it!

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
Mini ice cream sandwich’s with seasonal flair. Yummy I want to eat my computer screen!!
They look great, I am going to try this one for the family on Sunday.

I love pumpkin ice cream but only find it in the fall.
This looks like a good combo of two great flavors.
Another winner!
Hi Turkey Hill, The cookies look good, but I just want my turkey hill ice cream in a bowl or on top of one cookie,
I knew we weren’t going to have it easy. We have 4 great recipes to pick a winner from and they all look yummy. Not easy, not easy at all.
What a perfect treat for Santa on Christmes Eve.
Yet another version of the whoopie pie – YUM! Just perfect for the holiday season.
looks good, but i don’t think i would try it.
This is going to be a hard one to judge. The recipes are all great. Good Luck to the winner!
This looks like it may be the ultimate winner. Sensational, would appeal to all ages.
I love your ice cream!
Bet these are just yummy!
Ok!
I am so excited to be a finalist, I would love to win! Thanks for all the thoughts on the recipe, I hope you can all try it!
I honestly think I could eat the cookies without the ice cream but why would anyone want to.
LOOKS GREAT, AND DEFINATELY WILL TRY IT!
This is exciting, trying different ice cream recipes!!
It’s like an ice cream sandwich but better. The home-made cookies make it extra special – much better than store bought. It is certainly a treat for the holidays.
I would go for that in a blink of an eye!

Sounds great. I think I’ll have the cookies on the side with some coffee. I’ll just add some of the ginger snap ice cream to the hot coffee…really good.
I particularly like these two flavors, though I know a lot of people who don’t.
Great recipe!
Now you’ve put my husband’s favorite flavor and mine together! It must be yummy.
Another yummy recipe! I can’t wait to see how the voting turns out ~ it’s going to be hard to choose!
looks tasty
Too much going on for me.

This looks yummy.

I just love pumpkin anything too bad it is only around this time of year same as eggnog. Turkey Hill should make egg nog I bet that would really be good and creamy. Keep these flavors all year.
I think I have to make the cookies this afternoon whether or not I can find the ice cream at the store. I have to hit a different store because I haven’t found Ginger Snap or Egg Nog yet this year. But the German Chocolate Cake ice cream is yummy.
sound good
