Description
Oatmeal Cookie & Cinnamon Ice Cream Sandwiches combine chewy, spiced oatmeal cookies with creamy cinnamon ice cream for a cozy, nostalgic frozen treat perfect for fall or year-round enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 quarts cinnamon ice cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in rolled oats.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Match cookies in pairs of similar size. Soften the cinnamon ice cream slightly, then scoop and spread onto one cookie.
- Top with the second cookie and press gently. Smooth the sides and place on a baking sheet.
- Freeze sandwiches for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use slightly underbaked cookies for a softer texture after freezing.
- If cinnamon ice cream is unavailable, mix 1/2–1 tsp ground cinnamon into vanilla ice cream.
- Add chopped pecans or raisins to the cookie dough for extra texture.
- Wrap sandwiches individually to prevent freezer burn and sticking.
- For a spicier profile, try adding ground ginger or cloves.
