  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: Makes about 20 cookies. Enough for 10 ice cream sandwiches. 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add cocoa and mix well.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients a little at a time to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  4. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut into desired shapes and prick a few holes in each cookie with a toothpick.
  6. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are firm and the centers are just barely set. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, let ice cream soften slightly while cookies are cooling, then add a scoop of ice cream onto half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies and press to flatten slightly.
  8. Arrange on a baking sheet, cover, and freeze an hour or so until hardened. Seal in zipper storage bags or wrap individually, if desired.
