How to rescue failed cookie dough

So that chocolate shortbread that I messed up?  I kept the dough because I hate to waste good ingredients, and I found the perfect use for it.

First, press the dough into the bottom of ramekins, not too much thicker than the cookies you meant to make:

Next, bake it the same way you would the cookies:

dough 2

Finally, top with ice cream.  I used eggnog ice cream because the smooth sweetness perfectly balances the salty, very dark chocolate dough:

I served this fresh out of the oven to our guests, and no joke, they were still raving about it the next day.  I’m pretty sure this mistake will be requested again in the near future!
