Peanutty Ice-cream Sandwiches

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Ready In: 25 Minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter or margarine

2 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked

3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1/2 cup finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter

3 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

1 cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove from heat, and stir in oats and next 7 ingredients.
2. Drop oat mixture by tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread each dollop of cookie batter to form a 3-inch circle.
3. Bake at 350° for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Swirl peanut butter into softened ice cream. Freeze 30 minutes. Scoop ice cream evenly on flat sides of half of cookies; top with remaining cookies, flat sides down. Roll sides of sandwiches in coarsely chopped peanuts. Place in plastic or wax paper sandwich bags, and freeze at least 1 hour.
5. Note: Do not substitute a greased baking sheet for parchment paper. Cookies will slide and tear.
