Cookies And Creme Ice Cream Sandwiches Food

THE BEST ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream together the butter and sugars. Add the eggs, vanilla, syrup and baking soda. Add the peanut butter and then the oats. Stir well to combine and then add the chocolate chips, mixing them in thoroughly.
• Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet. Roll each ball of dough between your hands to make it smooth and round. (Eight cookies will fit nicely on a half size baking sheet.)
• Bake for approximately 12 minutes, watching closely to make sure they do not over bake. The cookies should be barely browned around the edges and just past looking wet on top. Cool on sheet for 1 minute and then remove to wire rack. Cool completely.

COOKIE LOVER'S ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Coat a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Heat the milk in the microwave until steaming, 30 to 45 seconds. Put the cocoa powder in a large bowl; pour the hot milk on top and whisk to combine. Let the cocoa steep, about 5 minutes.
• Add the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, the vegetable oil, vanilla and espresso powder to the cocoa mixture; whisk to combine. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine.
• Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a separate large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium high and beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk one-third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture in 2 batches until fully combined and there are no white streaks remaining.
• Scrape the batter onto the baking sheet; spread evenly to the edges. Bake until the cake just springs back to the touch and no longer looks wet in the center, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the cake cool 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto the rack and carefully peel off the parchment. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer the cake to a cutting board, cut in half crosswise and lightly wrap each half in plastic wrap. Freeze the cake halves until almost frozen and firm, about 2 hours.
• In the last 15 to 30 minutes of freezing the cakes, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften until spreadable but not melted. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 6-inch overhang on the sides. Unwrap the cake halves; place 1 cake half in the bottom of the dish. Scoop the cookie dough ice cream all over the cake and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/8-inch border of cake. Top with the cookies-and-cream ice cream and spread into an even layer. Top with the remaining cake half and gently press down. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze the cake in the baking dish until the ice cream is firm (the cake will stay soft), at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.

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.

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.

ZESTY LEMON ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spoon the ice cream into a rimmed baking sheet and spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut the ice cream into 12 rounds, reshaping the ice cream "sheet" as needed. Keep frozen.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy. Add the egg, and beat until the yellow disappears. Beat in the lemon zest, juice and extract.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and beat until combined. Roll the dough into twenty-four 2-inch balls. Roll the balls in coarse sugar, if using, and place on the prepared pans. Use the bottom of a glass to press down the dough balls.
• Bake until the cookies are set and lightly golden on the bottoms, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon curd on the flat sides of 12 cookies. Sandwich an ice cream round between 2 cookies (one lemon curd-coated and one uncoated). Roll the edges in the sprinkles. Wrap and freeze the ice cream sandwiches until ready to serve.

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.

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.
