These ice cream sandwiches tastes just like the ones purchased from the ice cream truck when you were a child. This recipe makes the soft, sticky, chewy chocolate cookies from scratch and you simply sandwich them with plain vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.33 cups sifted Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions
-
1
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.
-
2
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.
-
3
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.

4
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.
-
5
Transfer baking sheet into the freezer until cookies are firm, about 15 minutes.
-
6
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.

7
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.

Eggplant and Ground Beef Lasagna
I couldn't decide if I wanted lasagna or moussaka the other night; this eggplant lasagna with meat came out as a yummy combo of the two! Spinach lasagna noodles work well in this if you can get them. Also, try ground lamb in place of beef for another variation.
