Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe 455

SNICKERDOODLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter and corn syrup in a large bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla and egg and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated. The dough will be quite loose; refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it firm up a little.
• Scoop out 12 mounds of dough, about 2 scant tablespoons each, and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (The cookies will spread a lot during baking.) Lightly flour your hands and press the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle each cookie with some cinnamon sugar, using all of it.
• Bake, switching the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• To assemble: Turn 6 cookies upside down on a cutting board. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ice cream onto each cookie, and spread with a spoon or butter knife to the edge. Top each with a second cookie, and press down gently to adhere. Serve the ice cream sandwiches right away, or put them in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour, then wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

SNICKERDOODLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly beat in the flour mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and beat briefly until well combined.
• Scrape the dough onto the baking sheet; spread evenly into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle using a rubber spatula. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on the dough. Bake until golden around the edges, cracked on top and the center is just set but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes (Do not overbake; the cookie will firm up as it cools.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely on the pan, about 1 hour. Cut in half crosswise.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften, about 15 minutes. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang on the sides. Put 1 cookie half in the baking dish, cinnamon sugar-side down. Scoop the softened ice cream on top, covering it completely. Spread the ice cream gently with an offset spatula into an even layer, filling in any gaps or air pockets. Top with the other cookie half, cinnamon sugar-side up. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze in the pan until the ice cream is very firm, about 4 hours.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.
