Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Your favorite ice cream flavor, softened

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Take one chilled dough disk out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
8. Use a cookie cutter to cut out small circles or your desired shape.
9. Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
11. Repeat steps 7-10 with the remaining dough disk.
12. Once the cookies have cooled, take a scoop of softened ice cream and place it on the flat side of one cookie.
13. Gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich, with the ice cream in the center.
14. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
15. Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
16. Serve and enjoy the delicious small batch sugar cookie ice cream sandwiches!
