Description

These Chill-Out Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches are a delightful twist on the classic cookie sandwich, featuring a unique blend of soft cookie dough studded with crushed Rice Chex cereal and mini chocolate chips. The addition of cereal gives each bite a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender, chewy cookie base. Made with a simple mix of brown sugar, vanilla, and butter, these cookies have a warm, comforting flavor that pairs perfectly with your favorite scoop of ice cream. They are incredibly easy to assemble and perfect for summer gatherings, movie nights, or as a fun dessert for kids. Freeze them for a firm, scoopable treat that melts slowly in your mouth.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a large cookie sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine (or butter), vegetable shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Stir in the crushed Rice Chex cereal and miniature semi-sweet chocolate pieces by hand to ensure even distribution.
  7. Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  8. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or a fork.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers look set.
  10. Let the cookies stand on the baking sheet for 1 minute to firm up, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, place 1/4 cup of your chosen ice cream (slightly softened for easier spreading) onto the flat side of one cookie.
  12. Spread the ice cream to the edges and top with a second cookie, pressing down gently to form a sandwich.
  13. Place the assembled sandwiches in an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
