STAR ANISE ICE CREAM AND ORANGE, ALMOND, CRANBERRY AND SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the ice cream: In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the cream, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the star anise and vanilla seeds. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the eggs, salt and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and beat until smooth.
• Strain the cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and then whisk a third of the cream mixture into the eggs. Immediately whisk the eggs back into the cream mixture. Chill the ice cream base over an ice bath and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream base according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in an airtight container for 1 hour.
• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Cream together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, and mix until the batter is smooth. Turn off the mixer and fold in the 3/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds, cranberries, 12 ounces chocolate chunks and orange zest using the spatula.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some room between each cookie, for about 12 cookies total. Press down the tops slightly, and bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a shallow dish, combine the 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds with the 3/4 cup finely chopped chocolate. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop some ice cream onto a cookie, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Roll in the almond-chocolate mixture and freeze for 10 minutes before serving.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons water. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and 3 more tablespoons water and beat until the dough is smooth. (Add 2 to 3 more tablespoons water if the dough seems dry.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough in half. Pat each piece into a flat square on a lightly floured surface, then roll out until to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 2-to-3-inch squares with a paring knife or cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Poke several holes in each cookie with a skewer (to look like a classic ice cream sandwich cookie), then transfer to the freezer until hard, about 10 minutes.
• Bake the cookies until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sandwich with ice cream and fillings; freeze at least 45 minutes before serving. To store, wrap the ice cream sandwiches individually in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 days.
• Ice cream and filling combinations:

COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES- CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets (I use parchment paper instead).
• On medium speed, beat butter until fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in the brown sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
• Beat in egg, oats, flour, coconut, chocolate chips, baking soda and salt until blended, 1-2 minutes. The dough is very thick and stiff.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. I use a cookie scoop for this so that they all come out the same. Flatten into 2 inch rounds. You're supposed end up with 24 cookies but I always get 22. If you wet your hands, the dough will not stick to your fingers.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until JUST starting to brown lightly.
• Cool 5-10 minutes or so on pans (or until you can lift them off easily without them becoming deformed). Transfer to racks and cool completely. At this point, I freeze the cookies. It makes putting the ice cream sandwiches together so much easier and the cookies don't crack or break.
• You want the ice cream to be JUST softened enough to scoop out. If it's too soft, it's a pain and squeezes out the sides of the cookies to much. Scoop about 1/3 cup of your favorite ice cream onto the flat side of 12 cookies and top with the other 12 cookies. Press down lightly so the ice cream squeezes out to the edges. I use a small butter knife to smooth it out all the way around. Put your sprinkles or whatever decorations you're using into a small, shallow but wide bowl or saucer. Roll the ice cream sandwiches through the sprinkles like a wheel kind of and the sprinkles will easily stick to the ice cream around the edges. See photos.
• Freeze at least 1 hour (really, I'm serious! You have to freeze them at least an hour or the ice cream will squeeze out the sides when you eat them) and then wrap the 1 or 2 that you haven't eaten (ha, ha) in plastic wrap for a midnight snack.

SPICED APPLE OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Pour apple pie filling into a bowl. Cut each apple slice into thirds using a spoon.
• Place cookie butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 5-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until pourable but still thick, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Place ice cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Blend on low speed until uniformly softened, 10 to 15 seconds. Add apples; blend until incorporated. Fold in cookie butter gently to create ribbons.
• Line a rimmed 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread ice cream mixture on top.
• Freeze ice cream and cookies until firm, 5 hours to overnight.
• Remove cookies from the freezer. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 6 cookies on top.
• Remove ice cream from the freezer. Cut ice cream into rounds using a 3-inch cookie cutter. Transfer ice cream rounds to the cookies using a spatula or by pressing them out of the cookie cutter with a spoon. Press another cookie on top.
• Place baking sheet in the freezer; chill until ice cream cookie sandwiches are firm, 1 to 2 hours.
• Place 1 sandwich into each sandwich bag; fold the edge and crease to seal. Freeze until serving. Peel down bag as you eat, keeping the bag underneath to catch drips.

OATMEAL ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the Cookies
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, swirling often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Scrape brown butter and toasty solids into a heatproof measuring glass and let cool.
• Process waffle cones, oats, flour, and salt in a food processor in long pulses until oats are broken up and cones are finely ground. Add brown sugar and pulse to combine. Whisk egg yolk, vanilla, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. With the motor running, slowly drizzle into food processor, then stream in brown butter; process until dough forms a ball around the blade.
• Portion out slightly rounded tablespoonfuls of dough to make 26 balls (each should weigh about 3/4 oz.). Roll balls between your palms to smooth and divide between 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, spacing 3" apart (the cookies will spread as they bake). Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and use the bottom of a glass to flatten each into a 2 1/2" round.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until golden all over and browned around the edges, 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets; use a thin metal spatula to loosen cookies from parchment. Turn half of cookies over (you'll have 2 extra).
• Prepare Ice Cream
• Remove 2 pints of ice cream (same flavor) from containers (just peel away container if it's paper, or use a rubber spatula to help slide ice cream out intact if container is plastic). Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a large bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter.
• Assembly
• Using a 4-oz. ice cream scoop or 1/2-cup measuring cup, and working one at a time or in small batches, scoop out large domes of ice cream onto upside-down cookies. Top each with a right-side-up cookie, then press down gently until ice cream extends to the edges. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet set in the freezer as you work. Repeat softening process with remaining 2 pints of ice cream and assemble remaining sandwiches.
• Freeze sandwiches until ice cream is hard, about 2 hours. Cover tray with plastic wrap and freeze at least another 8 hours to let cookies soften.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be baked 1 week ahead; transfer to a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze. Sandwiches can be assembled 5 days ahead; keep frozen.

GINA'S OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars together in a large bowl, until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Crack eggs into a measuring cup and beat in 1 at a time.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice. Gradually add large spoonfuls of the dry mixture into the creamed mixture. Once incorporated, fold in raisins, pecans, and oats with a rubber spatula.
• Add a small ice cream scoop of dough (about 2 inches in diameter), onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets, spacing about 1-inch apart. Pat top down slightly and bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely for 45 minutes before making sandwiches.
• Remove ice cream from the freezer and allow to soften.
• Turn 6 cookies face side up on counter. Scoop 1/2-cup of ice cream on the cookies and using an offset spatula, spread evenly to the edges. Top ice cream with a second cookie and press down to adhere. Roll ice cream edges in the chopped pecans. Freeze for 2 hours or until solid.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the Cookies
• Whisk cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and 2 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium and add eggs and vanilla; beat until very fluffy, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating just until combined (use a large spatula to incorporate any dry ingredients at the bottom of the bowl). Divide dough in half and wrap each in plastic, pressing down to form into 1/2"-thick disks. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Let 1 disk of dough sit at room temperature until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper into a large 1/8"-thick rectangle (about 16x12"), dusting with more flour as needed. Use a knife and a ruler (precision is key) to cut into 4x1 1/2" rectangles, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer rectangles to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 1" apart. (If at any point the dough becomes too soft and sticky, slide dough with parchment onto a baking sheet and chill until firm.)
• Chill dough on baking sheet while you repeat the process with the second disk of dough. You should end up with 30 cookies total. Save scraps for another use or discard. Prick cookies in several places with a fork. Bake, rotating baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until edges are firm, 12-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets. Turn half of cookies over.
• Prepare Ice Cream
• Line a 13x9" baking pan, preferably straight sided, with 2 layers of plastic wrap, leaving several inches of overhang on all sides; place in freezer. Remove both pints of first ice cream flavor from containers (just peel away container if it's paper, or use a rubber spatula to help slide ice cream out intact if container is plastic). Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a large bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter. Scrape ice cream into chilled pan and smooth into an even layer with a small off-set spatula. Freeze uncovered until firm, 15-20 minutes.
• Repeat softening process with both pints of second flavor.
• Scrape second flavor over first layer and smooth out, spreading ice cream all the way to the edges and making top as level as possible. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ice cream is hard, at least 8 hours.
• Assembly
• Remove ice cream from freezer, unwrap, and invert onto a cutting board; remove pan and peel off plastic. Trim sides of ice cream block to make a neat, straight-edged rectangle measuring 12x7 1/2" (yep, there's that ruler again). Working quickly so ice cream doesn't melt, cut block lengthwise into 5 equal rows and then crosswise into thirds so you have 15 pieces measuring about 4x1 1/2" Working with 1 brick of ice cream at a time, use a thin metal spatula to place on a flat-side-up cookie and top with a right-side up cookie. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet set in the freezer as you work. Freeze sandwiches until ice cream is hard, about 2 hours. Cover tray with plastic wrap and freeze at least another 8 hours to let cookies soften.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 1 week ahead; transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze. Layered ice cream can be made 1 week ahead; keep frozen in pan. Sandwiches can be assembled 5 days ahead; keep frozen.

SMALL-BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. (Using a light-colored pan will help you see the color of the butter as it browns.) The butter will begin to foam. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is a dark amber color (darker browned butter is better for baked goods), about 6 minutes. Transfer the butter immediately to a small bowl to prevent burning. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the sugars, egg, vanilla and browned butter in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. (Do not overmix the dough.) Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• Scoop 2 ounces or 1/4 cup of the dough with an #16 ice cream scoop and drop onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making 8 cookies total. Press down on the cookies slightly to flatten them a little bit (see Cook's Note). Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour on the baking sheet. (Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies retain their shape when baked-no more flat cookies!) You can also freeze the dough at this point and pull it out whenever you want cookies. Freeze it in an airtight container and thaw on the cookie sheets for 15 minutes before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the cookies lightly with fleur de sel. Bake until the cookies are just cooked through and slightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, scoop 3/4 cup of ice cream onto the center of one cookie. Place a second cookie on top, then gently press until the ice cream meets the edge of the cookies. Smooth the edges of the ice cream with your finger, then place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream to make 4 sandwiches total, then re-freeze until hard, 1 to 2 hours.
• When the cookies are frozen, prepare a double boiler: Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the chocolate to a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the saucepan, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate until it's completely melted. Stir in the coconut oil until incorporated, then turn off the heat. Remove the bowl from the double boiler and let the chocolate to cool to about 80 degrees, about 15 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Dip half of an ice cream sandwich into the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and chocolate, then place back into the freezer to set, 10 to 15 minutes.

• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies just begin to brown.
• Let the cookies cool completely.
• Use a serrated knife to slice the pint of ice cream pint into 1½-inch (4-cm) thick discs. Peel off the paper container from each ice cream slice.
• Take 2 cooled cookies and sandwich an ice cream slice in between, pressing firmly.
• Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwich in the chocolate chunks, if desired. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
• Eat right away, or place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
• The sandwiches will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months in an airtight container.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the cookie dough: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and mix on medium speed until smooth. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add the wafer crumbs and the mini chocolate chips. Mix until a dough forms.
• Line an 8-inch square cake pan with a sheet of plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press half of the cookie dough into the prepared pan, making it as level as possible. Using the plastic wrap, gently pull this sheet of cookie dough out of the pan, transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet and freeze with the plastic wrap attached.
• Line the same pan with two 8-by-13-inch sheets of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press the remaining cookie dough into the prepared pan and freeze while you make your ice cream. Wash and dry the stand mixer bowl.
• For the ice cream: In a blender, combine the milk, granulated sugar, milk powder and salt. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar. Add the corn syrup and vanilla and blend on high for another 10 seconds. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form. Use a whisk to fold the milk mixture into the whipped cream. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• To assemble the ice cream sandwiches: Remove both batches of cookie dough from the freezer. Spread the ice cream over the cookie dough in the cake pan. Peel the plastic wrap off of the remaining sheet of cookie dough. Gently lay the dough on the ice cream. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and place in the back of your freezer overnight or for up to 2 days.
• Use the parchment to lift the ice cream sandwiches out of the cake pan. Use a sharp knife or a serrated knife to score into 9 bars and then cut completely. Serve immediately or refreeze after cutting (see Cook's Note).

OAT MILK AND OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Puree 3/4 cup of the oats in a blender, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until ground to a fine powder. Add the dates, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups cold water and puree until smooth, thick and creamy. Add the condensed milk and puree until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Whip the cream and granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the oat milk mixture until combined and lightened. Fold in the remaining cream until completely combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch pan, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until firm but malleable, about 3 hours; you want the ice cream to hold its shape but be able to be flattened between 2 cookies without breaking them.
• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt and soda in a small bowl until combined.
