Bring out the SPRINKLES because they really cute’n up these Chocolate Cannoli Cones!

I didn’t think cannoli’s could get any better, but I was WRONG.

Chocolate cannoli’s are AMAZING!

I couldn’t even wait to take the photos, I had to eat one.

I have absolutely NO self control with these around.

These are an easy no bake treat that you can whip up in minutes.

I dipped the cones in melted white chocolate then rolled the edges in mini chocolate chips,

then came the cookie dough….it’s super-delicious as you would expect

then these cones are topped off with chocolate chip cookies. I used purchased cookies for this part, you could bake a batch or just top the cookie dough with a big chocolate chip, it’s all good here, the more chips the merrier.

These may look like ordinary ice cream cones, but Oh trust me these are different!

These are Cannoli Cones.

Sugar cones filled with the light and delicious Cannoli filling.

Cannoli’s have always been a favorite of mine.

These are the quickest and easiest cannoli’s ever.

They are sugar cones (ice cream cones) dipped in chocolate, then topped with a cherry, pistachios or more chocolate.

I laugh every time someone asks me if I read….

this book or that book.

I must be the only adult that doesn’t read books.

It sure seems that way.
All these other adults are in book clubs and hurry to read the book to go to the “meeting” to discuss the book.

I call it a meeting because if there are no desserts served that is exactly what it is.

I prefer parties and movies!

Parties have lots of desserts and watching movies include lots of snacks.

These pretty patriotic cookies will be the HIT for any celebrating, even if they’re served at the end of a weeknight dinner or BBQ. 

Transporting ice cream is no PICNIC,

it only seems to take minutes for it to melt in the summer heat.

I get nervous even buying ice cream in the summer, just the thought of driving it a mile or so home in 100 degrees makes me think it will end up in a puddle!

This is a super-fun alternative to messy ice cream. You can even make the cookies a couple days ahead of time, to help save you on the last minute rush, which is especially good if you have more than one thing to make.

I used to think I would have plenty of time to get everything finished to go somewhere and the same thing seems to happen when I have people over. I push it all to the last minute, maybe I work better under pressure….Na!

I really don’t.

I now try to get as much done ahead of time as I can.

These can be made the day you are serving as well, which is especially good for last minute invites and get-togethers.

The ice cream cones are filled with buttercream frosting and then the cookies are placed on top. I love the contrast of the red, white and blue sprinkles against the chocolate cookie, but if you prefer vanilla, here is my post on Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop Cookies. I place the vanilla dough in the freezer, but when I made these I didn’t and the result was still great, so you can go ahead and save the step of freezing.

In a few quick steps, you will have a dessert everyone will WOW over!

Since the temperatures are hitting 100 degrees, here is what I came up with.

I’m all for ice cream and ice cream cones, these are just so much fun I think I’ll hide all the cones so I can make these again tomorrow because they are already gone.

Ice Cream Scoop COOKIES, yes they are cookies. No real ice cream here.

These cones are filled with frosting with a large cookie on top.

These cookies start with an Easy Sugar Cookie Recipe.

I scooped the cookie dough out with a large 3 tablespoon size scoop. It’s the same size scoop I use to make cupcakes.

Press the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. The excess cookie dough will curl up around the sides of the scoop a bit and create a ruffled uneven edge like ice cream would.

Release the cookie dough with the spring-loaded lever. The cookies release easily.

Place baking sheet in the freezer.

Bake fully frozen cookie dough at 375 degrees. Do not thaw them out. This will ensure they keep their shape.

One of the best parts of this is that they can be made days or a week ahead of time and kept in the freezer until you’re ready to bake them. I had these in the freezer for three days.

These baked for 15 minutes on the top rack of my oven. I tested one, I cut it open and it was almost completely cooked, just a little soft inside. Once they were completely cooled on a baking sheet. (not transferred to a cooling rack) the centers were completely baked.

I brushed the tops of the cookies with corn syrup,

then placed each cookie upside down in a bowl of sprinkles pressing the cookie into the sprinkles to allow as many as possible to stick to each cookie.

Allow the sprinkles to firm up on the corn syrup before placing them on the ice cream cones, 15 minutes or so. You can also put them in the refrigerator to speed this step along.

overfill ice cream cones with buttercream frosting.

I filled them level at first, but the cookies didn’t stick well. I removed all the cookies and added more frosting. Then they stayed on really well. (That is why you see chocolate and white frosting, I had 1/2 filled with white and 1/2 of the cones filled with chocolate at first, but ran out of chocolate and added white frosting to top all them off with.

These were such a yummy treat. I couldn’t wait to bite into one. The cookie was soft and did not fall off the cone, that part I liked. The frosting inside the ice cream cones reminds me of the wafer cookies when I was a kid. I’m sure they still sell them. There were Chocolate Vanilla and Strawberry flat wafer cookie with a cream filling, you know the ones. Right? Or did I just age myself? Anyway, these were so fun to make and see everyone enjoy. These would make a fun April Fool’s Joke too!

There aren’t enough desserts with pretty sprinkles on them. I love these rainbow sprinkles, their so pretty. They sure do make these cookies look like real ice cream!

If you prefer CHOCOLATE here are my Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Cookies

I love Pinterest and saw a dish of ice cream “cookies” but had a hard time finding it again. I searched google and found out that it was from Tradewind Tiaras.

What a CUTE party! Lots of great ideas. I thought I had pinned the party on April Fools, nope. Then I checked parties, nope. Ok how about cookies, nope. Where had that cute idea gone? I don’t know. I have 177 boards and over 4,000 pins so I guess it’s somewhere.  What did we ever do before Google? I’m so glad it led me to the post I was looking for.
