Funfetti Ice Cream Sammies

INGREDIENTS:

2 pints Udderly Ridiculous Vanilla Bean Lavender Ice Cream

1 stick salted butter, softened

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp white vinegar

½ an egg (see note)

1 cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

1/3 cup sprinkles

Directions

1) Cream softened butter in a medium mixing bowl until creamy.

• Add the sugars and mix until creamed with the butter.

• Beat the egg in a small bowl and measure out 2 Tbsp–that’s half an egg! Reserve the other half for your breakfast scramble.

• Mix in the vanilla, vinegar, and egg until just combined.

• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Mix in the sprinkles last.

• Chill the dough in the fridge for 1 hour.

2) While the dough chills, prep the ice cream. Let a tub of vanilla ice cream sit out to soften a bit.

• Line a half cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread 4 cups of the ice cream in the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the freezer to freeze back up.

3) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (Yes, 375.)

• Roll cookie dough into 12 evenly-sized balls.

• Place on two baking sheets lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

• Bake for 8 minutes. They will look underdone–this is normal. They’ll set up as they cool, and you want them a little on the soft side for an ice cream sandwich.

4) Once the cookies are completely cool, take a look around your kitchen for something round that’s about the same size as your cookies–a glass, a bowl, or a round cutter. Use this to cut round pieces out of the frozen sheet of ice cream.

• Sandwich an ice cream round between two cookies, and dig in! (Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for a week.)
