Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cookie butter creamy or crunchy works
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 5 scoops ice cream of your choosing

Instructions

  • With a mixer, cream cookie butter, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar for about 4 minutes.
  • Add in flour, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix until just combined. Dough should come together easily but not be crumbly. Do not over mix.
  • Divide dough into about 10 two-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet, spaced at least two inches apart. Cover pan tightly with plastic wrap and place in freezer for at least three hours (overnight is fine).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap then transfer pan directly from freezer to oven. Bake for about 12 minutes. Cookies should expand to about 3 inches in diameter with slightly domed centers and some crinkling on top.
  • Remove pan from oven and allow cookies to cool on pan. Cookies will be very soft to the touch at first but will get firmer as they cool.
  • To make ice cream sandwiches: Wrap cooled cookies tightly in plastic wrap and place in freezer until firm (at least 30 minutes but overnight is fine).
  • Remove cookies from freezer. Divide them up into pairs where each cookies is roughly equal in size.
  • Scoop one scoop of ice cream (slightly softened ice cream works best) onto flat (bottom) side of a cookie then press the flat side of another cookie down on top to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • If you want to take these cookie butter cookie ice cream sandwiches over the top, spread a bit of cookie butter on each cookie before adding the ice cream.
