The Best Ice Cream Sandwich Ever!

When I spied this recipe in my most recent issue of Coastal Living I knew I had to try it. These cookie were moist, had a great chocolate flavor and were delicious even without the ice cream. When my boys give a recipe a thumbs up I know it's good.

The Best Ice-Cream Sandwich Ever

1/3 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

11/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

11/2 cups candy- coated chocolate pieces

Ice cream (about 2 cups)

1. Beat butter, brown sugar and sugar with an electric mixer 4 minutes or until creamy.

2. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in candy-coated chocolate pieces until combined. Drop mixture by tablespoonful onto greased aluminum foil or parchment paper lined baking sheets (I flattened mine with a fork or pushed them down with my fingers.) My first batch came out too rounded when I did not do this.

3. Bake, in batches, at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on wire racks to cool (about 15 min.)

4. Place a small scoop of ice cream between 2 cookies and gently press together. Serve immediately or wrap in aluminum foil and freeze until ready to serve.
