Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1/2 cup of coconut flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 pint of your favorite ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and sugar. Mix thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Add softened butter and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive dough forms that can be easily rolled.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a square or rectangular cookie cutter, cut out uniform cookie shapes. Aim for 16 total cookies to create 8 sandwiches.
- Transfer the cut cookie shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool completely on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, remove ice cream from freezer and let soften slightly for easier spreading.
- Place a scoop of ice cream between two cookies, gently pressing to create a sandwich.
- Wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving to set.
- For best texture, let sandwiches sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before enjoying.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
- Use parchment paper when rolling out dough to prevent sticking and ensure uniform thickness.
- Let cookies cool completely before adding ice cream to prevent melting.
- For extra flavor, try rolling the edges of your ice cream sandwiches in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
- Use a sharp, clean knife when cutting cookie shapes for professional-looking results.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors to create variety.
- If dough feels too crumbly, add a tiny bit more egg or softened butter to help it bind.
- Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
