Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

I have a serious thing for Jeni's Ice Cream. Will gave it to me as a Valentine one year because I love the Brambleberry Crisp so much. Fun fact: I pretty much planned one day of my Bachelorette party around getting Jeni's (Nashville store woop woop). Unfortunately, we don't have a store in Birmingham, but good news is that they just rolled out some wonderful flavors in Publix!! Praise! Jeni was kind enough to send me a box of 6 flavors, so I want to share some recipe ideas using her yummy ice creams. First up, Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, combine baking powder, flour, and salt. In a KitchenAid mixer, cream the butter and sugar until combined. Slowly add in the egg and vanilla. Reduce speed and add flour mixture until combined.

2. I split dough and form into disk shape. Using plastic wrap, cover disks fully and tight. Freeze for 20-25 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment or silpat layer. The dough will need to sit out at room temp for 10 minutes.  Roll out dough until desired thickness.

4. Bake at 325 degrees for 15-18 minutes (keep an eye on them). Let cool completely before spooning in ice cream for sandwiches.
