Delicious Mocha Ice Cream Sandwiches

This dessert recipe features soft chocolate cookies paired with a luscious mocha ice cream filling, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The recipe yields about 12 sandwiches and takes approximately 1 hour to prepare and freeze.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened 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 pint mocha ice cream, softened
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

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 mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies are cool, take one cookie and spread a generous amount of mocha ice cream on the flat side. Top with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
Freeze: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
Serve: Once frozen, serve the mocha ice cream sandwiches immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
