Description
Delicious mini ice cream sandwiches decorated with red and blue sprinkles, perfect for summer celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup red sprinkles
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the red and blue sprinkles.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cool, scoop a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
- If desired, roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in additional sprinkles for extra color.
- Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cocoa powder.
- Use different flavored ice creams, such as strawberry or mint, to match the festive theme or personal preference.
