Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

July 30, 2013 by Sophie Leave a Comment

Okay. So.

I am constantly on the lookout for the best peanut butter cookie recipe. It’s hard to find one that makes the cookies turn out the way I like them: chewy and moist (rather than crunchy and dry). There’s a bakery near where I went to high school called the Cake & Pastry that has these massive, but almost peerrrfect peanut butter cookies. I’ve been toying with the idea of asking them for their recipe for years, but I never feel quite right about it.

So when I came across this recipe for whole-wheat cookies with peanut butter chips AND toffee in them, I haaaad to give them a go. They are fabulous! Such a wonderful texture and the chips/toffee add a nice little crunch. I’ve made them with regular chocolate chips as well, but I prefer the peanut butter ones for a more intense peanut flavor.

When I saw that the July Chocolate Blog Party ingredient was ice cream, I knew I wanted to make ice cream sandwiches with these cookies. They are scrumptious on their own, and with ice cream…so yummy. I filled them with Haagen Daz vanilla chocolate chip (I wanted to do vanilla chocolate swirl, but the store was out). Another little side rant: Haagen Daz ice cream is way too good. Dangerous. Even their plain vanilla is absolutely delicious (and unbeatable). So with chocolate chips, and these peanut butter cookies. Such a wonderful combination. I love summer. <3

Cookies:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (all purpose works too)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup peanut butter chips (Reese’s, sold in most grocery stores)
1/2 cup Heath Bar bits (also sold in most grocery stores)
1 pint Haagen Daz Vanilla Chocolate Chip ice cream (or any flavor you’d like)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment.

Cream the butter on medium speed for about two minutes until nice and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and then add the sugars, salt and peanut butter.

Cream on medium speed until everything is combined (scraping the bowl to be sure nothing gets left behind). Add the egg, baking soda and vanilla and beat just until mixed in. Then add the flour, and mix on low until it just comes together.

Fold the chips and bits in by hand with a spatula or wooden spoon. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough on to your cookie sheets, 2 inches apart (or spoon it out into rounded tablespoons). Flatten slightly with your hand.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Let the cookies cool completely before assembling your sandwiches.

Assembly:
Using a small ice cream scoop, place one scoop on half of the cookies, and sandwich together with the remaining half.

Wrap each sandwich in wax paper, and store in an airtight tupperware container, or a Ziploc bag, in the freezer until serving.

There ya go. Ice cream sandwiches are the best. They’re versatile (sooo many flavor combinations) and so easy.

Wheeere did summer go? It’s already almost August. I’ll be starting my last year of college in just a few weeks. Scary. Then the real world is going to come knocking. Well, first culinary school. Then real world. Eeek. Time to go eat ice cream to feel like a kid again.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🤤

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🤍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🤍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

A quilty wheat stalk pattern for the #mywheatstalk challenge by @artbreadlove. 🌾🤍 I love this quilty pattern because it’s such a fun one to score, and even with little variations it always bakes up beautifully.

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🤍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick 🐈🐈‍⬛ cameos!
