A Peachy Tale of Augusta National’s Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
Friday, April 10th, 2015
Mixed in with the traditional pimento cheese sandwiches at Augusta National Golf Club, an ice cream cookie sandwich has gained a strong following in the three years it has appeared on the menu.
The Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich, a creation of the Christie Cookie Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, is only sold at the club during the annual Masters Tournament.
“That’s part of the reason we bought it,” Margaret Allen, an Antioch, California, native who was attending her first Masters, said between bites of the 3-inch-thick jaw-stretching confection. “When I thought of Georgia peaches, I had to have the peach ice cream. It’s a little hard to bite because of the two fat cookies but it’s yummy.”
