Homemade Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Making these little cookie ice cream sandwiches made me so happy today! My favorite little twins are coming over and I was going to buy one of their favorite desserts, ice cream sandwiches, but decided instead that I would create healthier and tastier ones. So I baked oatmeal cookies made with whole wheat flour and my favorite Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats, stuffed them with good vanilla ice cream, rolled them in semi-sweet chocolate chips and voila! I’m just crazy about them and might have to eat one with the kids. If you want to put a smile on a kid’s face (or your favorite adult), this is a sure bet! Get creative by making your favorite cookies and buying your favorite ice cream – the options are limitless!!

Homemade Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Servings: 1 -15

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour white whole wheat if you can
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 sticks butter room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar or less
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs room temperature
• 3 cups rolled oats I prefer Bob's Red Mill
• optional 1 cup raisins
• vanilla ice cream
• semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• For the cookies, in mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients except the rolled oats.
• In separate large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time and beat after each egg. Continue to beat on low until incorporated (less than a minute).
• Stir in the oats. If you'd like to add raisins you would add them at this time.
• Drop rounded tablespoons on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Turn the pan around and bake for another five minutes or until light golden brown.
• Let cool completely on rack.
• To assemble ice cream sandwich, put a big scoop of ice cream on flat side of one cookie. You can push it down with your hand (covered with a little plastic wrap or paper towel so your hand doesn't get ice cream on it).
• Put another cookie on the top and roll the sides in the chocolate chips. Serve immediately or put individually in freezer.
