Marthas Mini Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, egg, and vanilla; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; mix in 1 cup chocolate chips.
• Using 1 rounded tablespoon per cookie, drop mounds of dough, about 1 1/2 inches apart, onto two baking sheets. (You'll have 25 to 30 cookies.) Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Scatter remaining chocolate chips on a plate. Place about 2 tablespoons ice cream between 2 cookies, bottoms facing in; press gently. Roll the sides of each sandwich in chips. (If ice cream is melting, place sandwiches in freezer until firm enough to roll in chips.) Transfer sandwiches onto baking sheets. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours; then wrap individually in plastic.

COFFEE-MINT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then coffee extract. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined.
• Scoop 1-ounce balls of dough with a 1 5/8-inch ice cream scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten each slightly with the bottom of a dry-measure cup dipped in flour. Stir together remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar and espresso powder in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture over rounds.
• Bake cookies until golden on edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Dip flat sides of half of cookies in chocolate (or spread chocolate on cookies). Freeze on a baking sheet, chocolate-side up, until set, 5 to 15 minutes.
• Cream: Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring cream and mint to a simmer in a small saucepan, then remove from heat; let cool completely, 30 minutes. Place in ice bath until well chilled. Transfer half of mixture to a food processor with half of confectioners' sugar and salt; purée until mint is finely chopped and cream is thick enough to scoop (check after 20 seconds). Then pulse just until whipped. Repeat with second batch.
• Scoop 1/4 cup whipped cream onto flat side of each coated cookie. Freeze until slightly hardened, 5 to 20 minutes. Lightly press uncoated halves on top, then freeze until semifirm, about 30 minutes, before serving.

CLASSIC ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 15-by-10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two shorter sides.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until combined; whisk in egg, vanilla, and salt until combined. Add flour and cocoa, and mix just until smooth. Spread in prepared baking pan. Bake until cake is dry to the touch and edges begin to pull away from the sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface. With a serrated knife, halve crosswise. Place one half of cake, flat side down, on a large piece of plastic wrap. Spread with ice cream, then top with remaining half of cake, flat side up. Return ice-cream sandwich to baking pan, and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
• Unwrap sandwich; using a serrated knife, cut into 8 rectangles, wiping off blade between each cut. Serve ice-cream sandwiches immediately.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Break cookie dough into chunks; stir into ice cream. Freeze until firm, about 3 1/2 hours.
• Bring cream to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour over chocolate in a bowl. Let stand for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth. Let stand, whisking often, until thick and spreadable, about 25 minutes.
• Spread 2 teaspoons ganache onto 8 cookies. Scoop 1/4 cup ice cream onto remaining cookies. Sandwich cookies together. Freeze on a baking sheet for 30 minutes.

MINI ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a shallow storage container with wax paper. Put a small scoop of ice cream (about 2 teaspoons) on a cookie and top with another cookie. Roll the ice cream sandwich in the chopped chocolate so the chocolate adheres to the ice cream. Place in the wax paper-lined container. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have 12 ice cream sandwiches.
• Cover and place in the freezer to set for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for up to 1 week.
