Directions

  1. Grease the inside of a 4-quart|3 liter 785 ml oven-proof bowl. Push the cookie dough into a ½-inch|1 ¼-cm layer inside the bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line the cookie with parchment paper and fill the parchment with beans or rice (kind of like blind baking a pie). Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, about 1 hour. Remove the parchment and beans and cook an additional 30 minutes, until golden brown in the center, as well. Cool completely before inverting the bowl and filling it with ice cream and all the good shit you want to make a badass fucking ice cream sundae.
