Big delicious chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough surrounded by creamy vanilla ice cream. It seems like such a no-brainer today, but in 1984 it was revolutionary.

Our Burlington Scoop Shop had a flavor suggestion board and this flavor was suggested anonymously. From the minute it was introduced it was a huge hit. Because the Burlington Scoop Shop made most of their own flavors, it was only available there. Folks would come from all over just to get Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. One of our employees remembers seeing a group of sorority girls from the University of Vermont trek down the hill only to find that the Scoop Shop was out of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. They ended up going to the grocery store across the street and purchasing a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough. They brought it back, ordered vanilla ice cream, cut up the roll and stirred it in.
We made the world's first batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream in 1984, inspired by an anonymous note on our Scoop Shop's suggestios board. Today it still reigns among our all-time most popular flavors.
