Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Ice Cream Filling:

  • 2 pints of your favorite ice cream, softened (vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate recommended)

Instructions

  • Prep and Preheat:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  • Roll and Cut the Cookies:
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
    • Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.
    • Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
    • Optional: Use a fork to gently prick the tops of the cookies for a decorative touch.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Ice Cream Filling:
    • While the cookies cool, spread the softened ice cream evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 1-inch thick.
    • Freeze the ice cream for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
    • Using the same heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart-shaped portions of the ice cream.
  • Assemble the Treats:
    • Take one heart-shaped cookie and place a heart-shaped piece of ice cream on top.
    • Gently sandwich with a second cookie, pressing lightly.
    • Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
  • Freeze and Serve:
    • Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
    • Serve straight from the freezer and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the ice cream flavor to your liking—chocolate and strawberry are both great choices for a festive touch.
  • For an extra indulgence, you can roll the edges of the finished ice cream sandwiches in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or crushed nuts.
  • Make sure to store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer.
