Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwiches

6/19/2012

After I made my chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, I needed to do something with the rest of it. Since the hubs is lactose intolerant, he doesn't partake in ice cream too frequently. This means that I have a lot of leftovers when I make a batch of ice cream. I have a lot of other sweets usually sitting on the counter and I forget about the lonely ice cream in the freezer. I won't be forgetting about these sandwiches though.

These are pretty incredible, and they're really not difficult to make. Also, you don't have to make your own ice cream. You could use any store bought ice cream you like. And, truth be told, you don't really have to make cookies. You could buy your favorite kind. But for now, let's stick with these cookies. They are a very rich and indulgent chocolate cookie; when paired with the ice cream, they take you back to summer days when you were a kid and the ice cream truck rolled around. These are about a million times better than that though, and I just found out they're way cheaper. Apparently the ice cream truck charges $4 or $5 for an ice cream sandwich. Whaaa? Try these out. They're perfect on a hot summer day.

1 recipe chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream
For the cookies:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Melt butter in a saucepan and remove from heat. Whisk in the cocoa until fully incorporated and stir in the sugars until it looks like coarse sand. Add in the sour cream or yogurt (use what you have; I've used both at different times and they both work great) and vanilla. Add in the flour mixture and stir until combined. Drop dough by rounded teaspoon-fulls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Let cool completely.

Meanwhile, let your ice cream thaw for about 10 minutes or until scoopable. Scoop it into a 9x13 pan and press it down into a single layer using plastic wrap. Place in the freezer until solid.

Once your ice cream is solid and your cookies have cooled, use a round cookie cutter to cut circles of ice cream that are slightly smaller than your cookies. Pair up your cookies according to size, place the ice cream round in between, and place in the freezer. Once solid, you can serve or place in a freezer bag for later.

I like this ice cream sandwiches. My hubby is diabetic, so sweets he won't take much. I have to eat a large portion. By the way they looks delicious.

This is the best summer time treat. You cannot beat cookies and ice cream at once.

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude.
