Add rainbow sprinkles to a package of store bought cookie mix and you’re halfway done already. Who needs the ice cream truck?
Funfetti Ice Cream Sandwiches
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Cooling/Freezing Time: 3 hours Total Time: 3 hours 25 minutesIngredients:
- I package store-bought sugar cookie mix 1 egg
- 1 stick softened butter
- ¼ cup water (this may differ from the cookie package directions, depending on the brand you use)
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles
- About a pint of your favorite vanilla ice cream - softened at room temperature for 30 minutes or so
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine cookie mix, egg, butter, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- With the paddle attachment, mix on medium until well combined and smooth.
- Add sprinkles and fold into cookie dough on low speed for a few seconds.
- Spread cookie dough into two 8x11 pans (pans a bit bigger or smaller would work as well, but your cookies will be thicker or thinner depending on the size.)
- Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden brown. You want them a little on the soft side! Let cool completely - about 1 hour.
- Layer one sheet cookie with the softened ice cream.
- Invert second sheet cookie on top, wrap with plastic wrap or foil, and freeze for at least two hours .
- Trim edges, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
- Feel free to use your own sugar cookie recipe instead of a mix, just make sure it yields about 2 dozen cookies.
- A slightly bigger or smaller pan will work for baking. Keep in mind that a 9x9 pan will produce thicker cookies, a 13x9 pan will produce thinner, crispier cookies.
- These can be made and frozen a day in advance. Just wrap them well before freezing. Leftovers will keep wrapped in the fridge for several days - if you have any!
