OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate., Shape dough into twenty 1-1/4-in. balls. Place 2-1/2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar, smoothing edges if necessary. Bake until golden brown, 10-13 minutes. Transfer from pans to wire racks to cool completely., To assemble, place about 1/4 cup ice cream on bottom of a cookie; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toffee bits. Top with a second cookie, pressing gently to flatten ice cream. Place on a baking sheet; freeze overnight or until firm. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream. For longer storage, wrap frozen sandwiches individually and return to freezer.

OAT MILK AND OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Puree 3/4 cup of the oats in a blender, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until ground to a fine powder. Add the dates, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups cold water and puree until smooth, thick and creamy. Add the condensed milk and puree until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Whip the cream and granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the oat milk mixture until combined and lightened. Fold in the remaining cream until completely combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch pan, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm but malleable, about 3 hours; you want the ice cream to hold its shape but be able to be flattened between 2 cookies without breaking them.
• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt and soda in a small bowl until combined. Beat the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vanilla and egg and beat on high until creamy, about 3 minutes more. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups oats and beat on low until combined. Fold in the raisins.
• Arrange twelve 1-ounce scoops (1 1/2-tablespoon portions) of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake until the cookies have spread and are deep golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheet cool slightly, then continue with the remaining cookie dough.
• When ready to assemble. Scoop 1/3 cup of ice cream and sandwich between 2 cookies; repeat with the remaining ice cream and cookies. Transfer the sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least another 8 hours before serving.

OATMEAL MOVIE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
• Place another baking sheet, plate or airtight container in the freezer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, brown sugar, coconut oil, granulated sugar vanilla, cinnamon and salt in until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the oats and baking soda and mix to combine. Add the popcorn, chocolate-covered raisins, nonpareils and candy-coated chocolates. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in until evenly incorporated.
• Scoop 1/4-cup-sized balls of dough (about the size of a plum) onto the baking sheets 2 inches apart (see Cook's Note). Dot each cookie with a few pieces of popcorn and candy. Sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky salt, if desired. Bake until lightly browned and just set in the center, begin checking for doneness at 14 minutes. These cookies have a tendency to spread into uneven blob shapes in the oven, so I like to shape them back into circles as soon as they come out of the oven using an inverted bowl on top of the cookies to gently curve the edges back into alignment. Let cool on the pan completely (well, enjoy one or two while they're still warm but then let the rest cool on the pan).
• While the cookies cool, remove the ice cream from the freezer to slightly soften. Scoop 1/3 cup of ice cream onto the flat, bottom side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie and gently press down to flatten. Place the ice cream sandwich in the freezer on the cold baking sheet, plate or container. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
• Keep frozen until ready to enjoy!
