🍦 Make It Look Like Real Ice Cream (But Better)

Want the full ice cream experience—without the melt? Here’s how to make your cookie dough scoops really pop:

  • Roll the dough into perfect round balls using a scoop

  • Slightly chill the dough so it firms up like real ice cream texture

  • Dip the tops in melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or toffee bits

  • Stack two scoops for a double “scoop” cone look

You can also drizzle the top with chocolate syrup or white chocolate ganache for even more drama!

🧁 Turn Them Into Mini Desserts

These cones are adorable at full size—but even better in mini versions. Use mini cones and smaller scoops for:

  • Bite-size party trays

  • Dessert shooters

  • Baby shower dessert bars

  • Kids’ party platters

Pair with other small treats like mini cupcakes, brownie bites, or cheesecake pops for a grab-and-go dessert board that’s colorful, fun, and completely customizable.

🥄 Mix-In Madness: Go Beyond Chocolate Chips

Here are fun mix-in upgrades for when you want a new flavor or seasonal twist:

🎃 Fall Cookie Dough

Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice extract. Use white chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar dusting.

🍫 Mocha Cookie Dough

Add espresso powder and chocolate chunks to the base. Finish with a coffee-flavored drizzle and cocoa powder on top.

🍬 Birthday Bash Cone

Use cake batter extract, rainbow jimmies, and white chocolate chips. Roll edges in frosting and top with a candle for a fun birthday spin.

🍓 Strawberry Shortcake Cone

Mix freeze-dried strawberries and white chips into the dough. Roll the edges in golden Oreo crumbs and top with strawberry glaze.

❄️ Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips

Want to prep ahead for a party or always have a sweet treat ready? Here’s how:

  • Dough prep: Make and scoop dough into balls. Freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag.

  • Assemble later: Store frozen dough balls in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just thaw slightly before placing into cones.

  • Cones: Store separately and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess. You can also fill cones the day of, wrap in wax paper, and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Tip: Add a mini marshmallow or a disc of chocolate in the bottom of each cone to prevent any dough drips and give a surprise bite at the end!
