Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pints ice cream, softened (any flavor)
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour and cocoa powder.
- In a large bowl, combine softened butter and sugar and beat with a mixer on high speed until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture.
- Divide dough in half, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
- Line 9 x13-inch baking pan with plastic wrap. Transfer ice cream from its package to the baking pan and smooth ice cream evenly into pan with a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in your freezer.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Dust a large surface and a rolling pin with cocoa powder, roll out one of the cookie dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies, then transfer to a baking sheet. Set the cookies 1 inch apart from each other. Do the same with the other cookie dough.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes and let cool for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Bake in batches if necessary.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, take out the ice cream from your freezer. Use the same cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped portions of ice cream, sandwich the ice cream between two cookies, and place in freezer until ready to serve.
Notes
You could use a larger heart-shaped cookie cutter for different sized ice cream sandwiches. Optionally, roll the side of each sandwich into sprinkles before freezing.
