Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream Sandwiches |
|||
| Makes about 24 sandwiches | |||
| Ingredients | |||
| 1 | cup | Flour | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | Salt | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | Baking Soda | |
| 1/2 | cup | Butter (softened) | |
| 1/2 | cup | White Sugar | |
| 1/4 | cup | Brown sugar | |
| 1 | each | Whole Egg | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | Mint Extract | |
| 6 | drops | Green Food Coloring | |
| 1 | cup | Chocoloate Chips | |
| 1 | quart | Chocolate Ice Cream | |
| Directions | |
| Step 1 | Preheat the oven to 350°F |
| Step 2 | Combine the Flour, Salt, and Baking Soda in a small bowl and reserve |
| Step 3 | Beat together the butter and the sugars, until creamy* |
| Step 4 | Add to this mixture the egg, food color, and mint extract until completely incorporated |
| Step 5 | Slowly add the flour until combined |
| Step 6 | Gently stir in the chocolate chips |
| Step 7 | Portion the cookie dough by hand or spoon onto a greased, or parchment lined baking tray |
| Step 8 | Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes |
| Step 9 | Allow cookies to cool completely by transfering them to a wire rack |
| Step 10 | Once the cookies are cooled, use an ice cream scoop, or a piping bag, to portion the ice cream |
| to make your ice-cream sandwiches | |
| *This is best done with a stand mixer, but, of course can be done by hand. I would highly | |
| recommend that the butter is brought to room temperature for at least an hour if you | |
| choose to beat the butter and sugars by hand. | |
