Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1.5 quarts of your favorite ice cream

Instructions

1. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until you have a smooth dough.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a rectangle. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Roll out each piece of dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut out the desired shapes for your ice cream sandwiches.
8. Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
9. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Once the cookies are cooled, take a scoop of your favorite ice cream and sandwich it between two cookies. Press gently to adhere.
