Chocolate Cookie Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

CHOCOLATE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons water. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 more tablespoons water and beat until the dough is smooth. (Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons water if the dough seems dry.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half. Pat each piece into a flat square on a lightly floured surface, then roll out until to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2-to-3-inch squares with a paring knife or cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Poke several holes in each cookie with a skewer (to look like a classic ice cream sandwich cookie), then transfer to the freezer until hard, about 10 minutes.
• Bake the cookies until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sandwich with ice cream and fillings; freeze at least 45 minutes before serving. To store, wrap the ice cream sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 days.
• Ice cream and filling combinations:
• Black raspberry ice cream, raspberries and fudge sauce
• Mint chip ice cream and marshmallow cream
• Chocolate ice cream, dulce de leche and fudge sauce
• Vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce and cherry jam

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CHURRO ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Crush 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies with your hands into a medium bowl. Pour the milk over the cookies. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the remaining 6 cookies in a food processor until broken into small pieces. Add the cocoa powder and pulse until the cookies are finely ground into a dark powder. Add the flour and pulse until combined. Sift the dry ingredients into a medium bowl; set aside.
• Strain the cookie milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepot (discard the soaked cookie crumbs). Add the butter, salt and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just below a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one by one, whisking vigorously for 30 seconds after each addition, until a smooth dough comes together. Scrape the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Pipe the dough into 2 1/4-inch rounds starting in the center and moving in a circular motion. Repeat until all of the dough has been piped (about 24 rounds). Place the baking sheets in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to cook the churros, pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a wire cooling rack. Put the sugar in a wide dish.
• Carefully lower the churros a few at a time into the hot oil. Be sure not to crowd the oil or the temperature will drop. Control the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry until the churros rise to the surface of the oil, about 2 minutes. Drain on the prepared cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining churros. Allow the churros to cool slightly.
• Toss the churros in the sugar until completely coated, then tap gently against the side of the dish to remove any excess. Put the churros back on the cooling rack.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the ice cream onto 12 of the churros. Top the scoops of ice cream with the remaining churros and gently press down to create sandwiches. Serve immediately.

• Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Freeze the circles for at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a pot over high heat.
• Fry the circles until light golden brown, then drain them on a paper towel.

CLASSIC CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®). Spray liner with cooking spray and rub it in to be sure it's completely covered.
• Whisk 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Sift mixture if it seems at all clumpy or chunky.
• Mix butter, both sugars, and vanilla in another bowl with a spatula until you have a smooth paste. Add flour mixture along with milk and stir until batter is smooth and stiff. Clean off the spatula with a cookie scoop and drop 12 scoops batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the tops of the cookies no longer look wet and shiny, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and tap and shake the pan on the counter 5 times to settle and compress the cookies. Let cookies cool to room temperature on the pan, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer baking sheet into the freezer until cookies are firm, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer and remove cookies from the pan by lifting the silicone liner carefully under each one. Poke 10 or 12 holes in the surface of each cookie with the sharp edge of a chopstick. Return to the freezer until ready to assemble.
• When ready to assemble, remove from the freezer. Turn one cookie upside down, place 1 scoop ice cream on top, and sandwich with a second cookie. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 3 hours before serving. Repeat to make remaining ice cream sandwiches.
