Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cream (your choice)
- Jam of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop small rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, spread a thin layer of jam on the flat side of one cookie.
- Scoop your chosen ice cream onto the jam-covered cookie, using about 2-3 tablespoons per sandwich.
- Gently press a second cookie on top of the ice cream, creating a sandwich. Press lightly to ensure the cookies hold the ice cream.
- For best results, place the assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to help them set.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of almond butter cookies, jam, and creamy ice cream.
Tips
- Ensure your cookies are completely cooled before assembling the sandwiches to prevent melting.
- Use parchment paper when freezing to prevent sticking and make storage easier.
- Experiment with different jam flavors and ice cream varieties to create unique combinations.
- For neater edges, use a small ice cream scoop to portion the ice cream evenly.
- If the cookies are too soft, freeze them briefly before assembling to make handling easier.
- Wrap individual sandwiches in plastic wrap for easy storage and individual servings.
- Let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before serving for the perfect texture.
