Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies bring together rich cocoa-flavored cookies that are softly baked to remain tender enough for sandwiching ice cream. The dough combines butter, white and brown sugars, eggs, vanilla, flour, and cocoa powder, creating a slightly chewy texture with balanced sweetness and chocolate depth. Underbaking the cookies slightly keeps them moist and pliable, ideal for holding the ice cream filling without cracking. These cookies offer a classic dessert experience that easily pairs with your favorite ice cream flavor for homemade ice cream sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 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.
