Time 1h45m

Yield 12 to 18 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Ice cream and other fillings (above)

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons water. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 more tablespoons water and beat until the dough is smooth. (Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons water if the dough seems dry.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half. Pat each piece into a flat square on a lightly floured surface, then roll out until to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2-to-3-inch squares with a paring knife or cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Poke several holes in each cookie with a skewer (to look like a classic ice cream sandwich cookie), then transfer to the freezer until hard, about 10 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sandwich with ice cream and fillings; freeze at least 45 minutes before serving. To store, wrap the ice cream sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 days.
  • Ice cream and filling combinations:
  • Black raspberry ice cream, raspberries and fudge sauce
  • Mint chip ice cream and marshmallow cream
  • Chocolate ice cream, dulce de leche and fudge sauce
  • Vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce and cherry jam

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to spread evenly between the cookies, but they still tasted great.

The cookies were a little too crumbly for my taste, but the ice cream was delicious.
