Delicious Mocha Ice Cream Sandwiches

This recipe features soft mocha cookies made with cocoa powder and coffee, sandwiched around a generous scoop of ice cream. The preparation time is about 30 minutes, and the sandwiches can be frozen for later enjoyment, serving approximately 8 people.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 pint mocha or coffee ice cream

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules, mixing until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble Sandwiches: Once cookies are cool, take one cookie, add a scoop of ice cream, and top with another cookie. Gently press together.
Freeze: Place the assembled sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
