- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

- Beat in the vanilla extract and egg yolk one at a time, until well combined.

2. Make the Ice Cream Base:

- In a large saucepan or pot, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.

- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.

- Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

3. Assemble and Freeze:

- Pour the warm ice cream base into the Deni maker (follow your Deni maker's instructions for operating it).

- Once the ice cream has partially churned and has the consistency of soft-serve, add spoonfuls of the cookie dough in small drops.

- Continue churning the ice cream until it reaches your desired consistency.

4. Transfer to Freezer:

- Once the ice cream is done, transfer it to an airtight freezer-safe container.

- Let the ice cream set in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours before serving to allow it to firm up completely.

5. Enjoy!
