- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 cup ice cream
Prepare
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt; set aside.
-
Step 3.
Using an electric mixer, beat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature), ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
-
Step 4.
In a small bowl, combine ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon and the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Form the dough into 1½-inch balls, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until set and slightly golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Step 5.
Assemble sandwiches: Press ¼ cup ice cream (any flavor) between 2 cooled cookies. Serve immediately or freeze, covered, for up to 3 days.
