Store-bought treats can't hold a candle to homemade ice cream sandwiches. This frozen dessert is fantastic. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
3/4 cup sugar, divided |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
12 ounces dark chocolate candy coating, chopped |
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls; roll in remaining sugar. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork, forming a crisscross pattern.
3. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until set (do not overbake). Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
4. In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Spread a heaping teaspoonful on the bottom of each cookie; place chocolate side up on waxed paper until set.
5. To make sandwiches, place 1/4 cup ice cream on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze. Yield: 16 servings.
