Classic Ice Cream Sandwiches

Print Recipe

Classic ice cream sandwiches made with soft chocolate cookies and creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for a refreshing treat on a hot day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ gallon vanilla ice cream, softened slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Divide dough into two portions. Roll out each portion between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼-inch thickness. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  6. Cut dough into rectangles, approximately 3×2 inches, and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cookies are set but still soft.
  7. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks.
  8. Spread softened vanilla ice cream onto one cookie, then place another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  9. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vanilla ice cream with other flavors like chocolate, strawberry, or mint chocolate chip.
  • Cookies can be baked a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
  • For neater sandwiches, trim the ice cream edges after assembling.
