ice cream sandwich
ok so i have to say that i made the best ice cream sandwich’s last night. i started watching martha stewart recently and this was a recipe from her show. well it is only the cookie recipe but these are the best peanut butter cookies i have ever had. this recipe is on her website courtesy of How Sweet It Is cake studio in NYC. you can also get their recipe for chocolate ice cream but i am not that ambitious and just bought it at the store. here is the cookie recipe:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugur, plus more for sprinkling
1 cup packed dark brown sugar (i used light brown and it came out great)
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-pourpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
chocolate ice cream (click here for ice cream recipe if you want to make it)
2. add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a large bowl, wisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. add flour mixture in two batches, mixing well after each addition. continue mixing until a dough forms. for dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap; refridgerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
3. preheat oven 350 degrees.
4. once firm, roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down on each dough ball using the tines of a fork, once vertically and once horizontally making a crisscross pattern on the cookie. sprinkle with sugar and transfer to oven. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet once during baking. let cool completely.
5. Place 1 scoop of ice cream on the bottom side of cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. serve immediately or wrap individually using plastic wrap. will keep frozen for up to 1 month.
