Categories     Ice Cream

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 gallon ice cream, slightly softened
13 1/3 ounces all-purpose flour
3 ½ ounces cocoa powder
3/4 tsp salt
7 ounces granulated sugar
10 ounces unsalted butter
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Press ice cream into a 9x13-inch, parchment-lined baking tray, then smooth out the top. Transfer into a freezer for at least one hour.
  • Position one rack in the upper-middle part of the oven and the other in the lower-middle part. Then, set the oven to preheat to 350°F.
  • Sift the flour, the cocoa, and the salt into a medium-sized bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and frothy, then with the mixer still on, add the yolks and the vanilla.
  • Stir in the flour and the cocoa mixture, but do not overmix.
  • Divide the dough in half, then shape each half into a 5-inch square. Wrap each square in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Put one rectangle of dough on a lightly floured working surface, then roll out to an 8x12-inch rectangle and cut into 12 4x2-inch cookies. Do the same with the other rectangle of dough.
  • Using a flat spatula, place the cookies on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Then, poke 15 holes in each cookie using a pointy object.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, switching the baking sheets from bottom to top and from front to back at the 5-6 minute mark.
  • When done, take out of the oven and wait until the cookies are completely cooled, before proceeding with the next steps.
  • Take the ice cream out of the tray, then trim the edges for a cleaner look and cut the ice cream into 12 4x2-inch rectangles.
  • Place each rectangle in between two cookies, then wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, so they soften.
