Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  6. Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening them slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread your favorite ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie.
  11. Gently press the cookies together to form a sandwich.
  12. Optional: Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in extra cinnamon sugar.
  13. Serve immediately or freeze for later.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is truly softened for the best cookie texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
  • Adjust cinnamon sugar to your preference.
  • You can use store-bought ice cream or homemade.
  • For easier handling, slightly soften the ice cream before scooping.
