Ingredients

⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pint vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons colored candy sprinkles (jimmies)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together sugar, melted butter, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a bowl. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and candy sprinkles. Stir to combine.
Scoop dough with a medium-sized spring-hinged scoop and space evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies spread, start to crackle, and appear dry on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make ice cream sandwiches, place about 1/4 cup ice cream on the bottom of one cookie, press the top cookie in place.
