Peanut Butter And Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies Recipes

PEANUT-BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE-ICE-CREAM SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add both sugars and continue to mix until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer running, add flour mixture in two batches, mixing well after each addition. Continue mixing until a dough forms. Form dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down on each dough ball using the tines of a fork, once vertically and once horizontally, to make a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle with sugar and transfer to oven. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet once during baking. Let cool completely.
• Place 1 scoop of ice cream on the bottom side of 12 cookies. Top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches. Serve immediately or wrap individually using plastic wrap. Keep frozen up to 1 month.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla, salt and egg and beat again until smooth and combined. Add the flour, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to stir until just mixed.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 2-inch balls of dough. Place 14 on each baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the cookies are just set around the edges and the tops look dry, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• When the cookies are completely cool, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and press together gently. Continue with the remaining cookies and ice cream, freezing the sandwiches as you go.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop the peanut butter into 12 mounds onto a small baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are rounded on top and no bigger than the circumference of a quarter. Freeze until frozen solid, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Combine the butter, both sugars, and cocoa powder in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl. Whisk the egg with the coffee extract in a small bowl. While the mixer is running on low speed, add the egg mixture and mix just until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl.
• Stir together the flour, cornstarch and baking soda in another small bowl. Add it to the stand mixer and mix on low speed until incorporated. Stop and scrape the bowl. Mix briefly until all of the dry ingredients have been fully incorporated. Add the milk and chocolate chips. Mix to combine.
• Scoop the dough into 12 mounds, each 3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces), on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 25 minutes.
• Position racks in the upper and middle thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the cookie dough and peanut butter from the freezer. Flatten 1 of the cookies with the palms of your hands, place 1 mound of peanut butter in the center then wrap the dough around it until fully enclosed in a ball of cookie dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and peanut butter. Please work swiftly before the peanut butter gets soft. If so, return the peanut butter to the freezer.
• Divide the dough among 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper (6 cookies on each). Sprinkle with the fleur de sel.
• Bake on the upper and lower racks for 10 minutes. Rotate the sheet pans and bake 4 to 5 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pans for 15 minutes.
• Sandwich the cookies with ice cream and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM SANDWICH DESSERT

Steps:

• Beat cream and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Beat in sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter on low speed until smooth.
• Arrange ice cream sandwiches in 13 x 9-inch dish to form a single layer. Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over ice cream sandwich layer. Cover; freeze 4 to 6 hours until firm.
• Cut into 12 squares. Top with hot fudge topping and peanuts. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SHEET PAN ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously coat a 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray . Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle in butter; reserve saucepan. Whisk until butter is incorporated, then add vanilla and 2 eggs and whisk until batter is glossy and smooth. Add 1¼ cup flour and whisk until no dry streaks remain.
• Melt remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter in reserved saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 egg and ½ cup sugar, then add remaining ½ cup flour and whisk until smooth.
• Pour chocolate batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula or your fingers, smooth into an even layer, spreading all the way to the corners and sides; the batter will be quite thin. Dollop peanut butter batter over chocolate batter and press into an even layer. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
• Bake cookies until top looks dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 14-17 minutes (cookies will seem too soft, but they'll firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool in baking sheet, then use a sharp knife to cut into 32 pieces (8 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides). Carefully remove pieces from pan with a thin spatula.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, layering sheets both lengthwise and crosswise and leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Transfer softened ice cream to prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Fold overhang up and over the top and freeze ice cream until firm, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble sandwiches, use plastic overhang to transfer frozen ice cream block to a cutting board. Working quickly, cut into 16 pieces (4 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides-mirroring half of the cookie slicing method above). Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, arranging cookies top side out and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm all the way through, then transfer sandwiches to an airtight container or individually wrap in foil. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
