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.
