    Recipe Introduction


    "These homemade ice cream sandwiches are the perfect kid-sized dessert. Sweet and spicy cookies are sandwiched together with one's favorite ice cream for a surprise dessert packed with flavor. While children tend to prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream, adults may like praline or rum raisin flavors for a more mature taste. Well-drained homemade pumpkin puree can be used in place of canned pumpkin if desired. "

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup softened butter
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 cup canned pumpkin puree
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    1/2 gallon softened ice cream, in assorted flavors if desired
     
    Optional: Chopped nuts, miniature chocolate chips, raisins, chopped chocolate-covered toffee

    Recipe



    To make cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and heavily grease several baking sheets. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the pumpkin, egg, and vanilla until very smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until incorporated. Drop by large spoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15-22 minutes (depending on size) or until the edges of the cookies are firm. The cookies will still be very soft in the middle, but will firm as they cool.

    Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 4 minutes, then carefully place on wire racks to finish cooling. You may store the cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 48 hours before making the ice cream sandwiches.

    To make sandwiches: Spread 1-3 tablespoons softened ice cream on one cookie. Top with another similarly sized and shaped cookie, and gently press to make a sandwich. Roll the cookie in any of the optional additions, if desired. Wrap tightly and place in the freezer
    until ready to serve.

    Makes 12-20 ice cream sandwiches depending on how large you make the cookies.
