CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the dry ingredients, making sure that the cocoa isn't lumpy and is well mixed in.
• In your mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until it's wonderfully light-colored and fluffy.
• Then add in your eggs, one at time, beating them in completely and toss in the vanilla as well.
• When the vanilla has been mixed in, slowly add in the dry mixture little by little, until it has all been added and mixed in.
• Drop by large rounded tablespoonful onto ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheets. Flatten the cookies slightly to make sure we get wide enough cookies for ice cream sandwiches!
• Bake in the 350 degree oven that you have preheated, of course, for 9-10 minutes. Remember that the key to wonderful cookies is just underbaking them by a minute or so and this is especially important with these cookies as the cocoa can dry things out.
• Leave them for a minute or two on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a baking rack and cool completely. These are a soft, chewy cocoa cookie that are perfect for this purpose.
• Take one, spread the ice cream of your choice on the bottom then find a mate and sandwich them together.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and creamy, about 4 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixer and mix until just combined.
• Scoop by the rounded tablespoon onto the prepared sheet pan.
• Bake until edges are crisp, about 9 minutes. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Let vanilla ice cream sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes to soften. Place a large scoop of ice cream on 1 cookie. Top with another cookie and gently press together. Roll in sprinkles, if using.
• Freeze until ready to serve or serve immediately. Ice cream sandwiches will keep in the fridge for a few days (see Note).

CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIE ICE-CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• To make the cookies, tip the sugars and butter into a large bowl. Get a grown-up to help you use an electric hand mixer to blend them together until the mixture looks smooth and creamy, and a little paler in colour.
• Carefully break in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each egg and pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Mix in the vanilla. (To avoid unwanted crunchy bits, get your helper to crack the eggs into a separate bowl first, then it's easy to pick out any shell before tipping into the mixture.)
• Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix well with a wooden spoon.
• Stir through the chocolate chunks. Use your hands to squeeze the dough together in 1 big lump, then split into 2 even pieces. Put each piece on a sheet of cling film.
• Roll each piece of dough in the cling film so that they form thick sausage shapes, then seal the ends. Put them in the fridge and chill for at least 3 hrs or overnight - can be frozen at this point.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Take the dough rolls out of the fridge, unwrap and use a small knife to slice each one into 12 pieces, so you have 24 in total.
• Place the slices on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Ask a grown-up to put this in the oven to bake for 20 mins or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges, but still pale in the centre.
• Allow to cool slightly before lifting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Sandwich the cookies together with ice cream and dig in!

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the Cookies
• Whisk cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and 2 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium and add eggs and vanilla; beat until very fluffy, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating just until combined (use a large spatula to incorporate any dry ingredients at the bottom of the bowl). Divide dough in half and wrap each in plastic, pressing down to form into 1/2"-thick disks. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Let 1 disk of dough sit at room temperature until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper into a large 1/8"-thick rectangle (about 16x12"), dusting with more flour as needed. Use a knife and a ruler (precision is key) to cut into 4x1 1/2" rectangles, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer rectangles to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1" apart. (If at any point the dough becomes too soft and sticky, slide dough with parchment onto a baking sheet and chill until firm.)
• Chill dough on baking sheet while you repeat the process with the second disk of dough. You should end up with 30 cookies total. Save scraps for another use or discard. Prick cookies in several places with a fork. Bake, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until edges are firm, 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets. Turn half of cookies over.
• Prepare Ice Cream
• Line a 13x9" baking pan, preferably straight sided, with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving several inches of overhang on all sides; place in freezer. Remove both pints of first ice cream flavor from containers (just peel away container if it's paper, or use a rubber spatula to help slide ice cream out intact if container is plastic). Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a large bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter. Scrape ice cream into chilled pan and smooth into an even layer with a small off-set spatula. Freeze uncovered until firm, 15-20 minutes.
• Repeat softening process with both pints of second flavor.
• Scrape second flavor over first layer and smooth out, spreading ice cream all the way to the edges and making top as level as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ice cream is hard, at least 8 hours.
• Assembly
• Remove ice cream from freezer, unwrap, and invert onto a cutting board; remove pan and peel off plastic. Trim sides of ice cream block to make a neat, straight-edged rectangle measuring 12x7 1/2" (yep, there's that ruler again). Working quickly so ice cream doesn't melt, cut block lengthwise into 5 equal rows and then crosswise into thirds so you have 15 pieces measuring about 4x1 1/2" Working with 1 brick of ice cream at a time, use a thin metal spatula to place on a flat-side-up cookie and top with a right-side up cookie. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet set in the freezer as you work. Freeze sandwiches until ice cream is hard, about 2 hours. Cover tray with plastic wrap and freeze at least another 8 hours to let cookies soften.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 1 week ahead; transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze. Layered ice cream can be made 1 week ahead; keep frozen in pan. Sandwiches can be assembled 5 days ahead; keep frozen.

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Make cookies as directed on pouch, using butter and egg, except drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For each ice cream sandwich, place 1 scoop of ice cream (about 1/3 cup) between 2 cookies. Gently press cookies together (ice cream should spread to edge of cookies). Roll ice cream edges in sprinkles. Eat immediately, OR to save for later, wrap sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. Place in resealable freezer bag, and freeze until needed.

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Divide the peanut butter cookie dough into 6 portions (2 tablespoons each), roll into balls and place on a baking sheet; repeat with the chocolate chip cookie dough. Bake until the cookies are slightly crisp around the edges and baked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
• While the cookies cool, make the ganache by adding the chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream just until the edges begin to bubble, pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool, about 8 minutes.
• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment and get everything lined up to assemble: the cookies, ganache and sprinkles. You need to move quickly so the ice cream stays cold. Grab the ice cream cartons and use a serrated or sharp knife to saw through the packaging, cutting each pint of ice cream into thirds, creating 6 ice cream rounds in total. Remove the packaging from the first ice cream round and sandwich it between one of the peanut butter cookies and one of the chocolate chip cookies. Dip the cookie sandwich into the ganache, covering half of it in chocolate. Next, cover the chocolate in sprinkles and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create 6 sandwiches. Place in the freezer to firm up and set for 10 minutes. Once set, devour, or wrap to enjoy later.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well., Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets, forming 16 cookies. Flatten slightly with a glass. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool., To make ice cream sandwiches, spread a 1/4 cup of ice cream on bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Wrap each in plastic wrap; freeze on a baking sheet overnight.

CLASSIC CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®). Spray liner with cooking spray and rub it in to be sure it's completely covered.
• Whisk 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Sift mixture if it seems at all clumpy or chunky.
• Mix butter, both sugars, and vanilla in another bowl with a spatula until you have a smooth paste. Add flour mixture along with milk and stir until batter is smooth and stiff. Clean off the spatula with a cookie scoop and drop 12 scoops batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the tops of the cookies no longer look wet and shiny, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap and shake the pan on the counter 5 times to settle and compress the cookies. Let cookies cool to room temperature on the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer baking sheet into the freezer until cookies are firm, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer and remove cookies from the pan by lifting the silicone liner carefully under each one. Poke 10 or 12 holes in the surface of each cookie with the sharp edge of a chopstick. Return to the freezer until ready to assemble.
• When ready to assemble, remove from the freezer. Turn one cookie upside down, place 1 scoop ice cream on top, and sandwich with a second cookie. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours before serving. Repeat to make remaining ice cream sandwiches.

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES- CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets (I use parchment paper instead).
• On medium speed, beat butter until fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in the brown sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in egg, oats, flour, coconut, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt until blended, 1-2 minutes. The dough is very thick and stiff.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. I use a cookie scoop for this so that they all come out the same. Flatten into 2 inch rounds. You're supposed end up with 24 cookies but I always get 22. If you wet your hands, the dough will not stick to your fingers.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until JUST starting to brown lightly.
• Cool 5-10 minutes or so on pans (or until you can lift them off easily without them becoming deformed). Transfer to racks and cool completely. At this point, I freeze the cookies. It makes putting the ice cream sandwiches together so much easier and the cookies don't crack or break.
• You want the ice cream to be JUST softened enough to scoop out. If it's too soft, it's a pain and squeezes out the sides of the cookies to much. Scoop about 1/3 cup of your favorite ice cream onto the flat side of 12 cookies and top with the other 12 cookies. Press down lightly so the ice cream squeezes out to the edges. I use a small butter knife to smooth it out all the way around. Put your sprinkles or whatever decorations you're using into a small, shallow but wide bowl or saucer. Roll the ice cream sandwiches through the sprinkles like a wheel kind of and the sprinkles will easily stick to the ice cream around the edges. See photos.
• Freeze at least 1 hour (really, I'm serious! You have to freeze them at least an hour or the ice cream will squeeze out the sides when you eat them) and then wrap the 1 or 2 that you haven't eaten (ha, ha) in plastic wrap for a midnight snack.

CHOCOLATE "I SCREAM" COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cover the flat side of 4 cookies with melted dark chocolate; tap the cookies lightly to smooth out the chocolate.
• While still wet, use a piping bag or spoon to make a ghost shape with the white chocolate; tap lightly once more to smooth as needed. More white designs can be added to the dark chocolate background if desired.
• Use melted dark chocolate to make the eyes and screaming mouth; tap or shake once more to even and smooth out.
• Let chocolate cool until hard and dry to the touch, at least 1 hour.
• Scoop ice cream on 4 remaining cookies, and cover with the tops. Carefully press to flatten, and transfer to a freezer to freeze thoroughly before serving.

TATES COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place your cookies on a flat surface.
• Scoop desired amount of softened ice cream, and place in the center of one cookie.
• Gently place the other cookie on top of the first, and lightly press them together.
• Take a smaller spoon, and fill in the gap between the ice cream and the edge of the cookie by smoothing a small amount of ice cream along the sides.
• If your ice cream is too soft, place the sandwiches in freezer until they are set.
