Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches from Scratch

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Semi-sweet chocolate offers a similar flavor at a lower cost.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a mixer, add 1 cup of room temperature butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes.

Gradually add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Add 2 eggs, beating between each addition.

Incorporate 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.

Add 3 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing until barely combined.

Scoop the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet using a cookie scoop, flattening them slightly for even baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 to 10 minutes, until the edges are browned and the center is still doughy.

Let the cookies cool completely on a cookie sheet before assembling the sandwiches.

Remove the ice cream from its carton using a knife and cut it lengthwise to create ice cream rounds.

Place an ice cream round on one cookie and press gently to adhere.

Repeat with the second type of ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.

Wrap the assembled ice cream sandwiches in plastic wrap and freeze until firm.
