These resemble the classic ice cream sandwich cookies but taste much better, and are far fudgier, than those soggy dark rectangles youāll soon forget about.

Yield
makes 16 cookies, for 8 ice cream sandwiches
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
Beat together the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, or by hand, until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients gradually into the creamed butter mixture until completely incorporated and there are no streaks of butter.
Step 4
Form the dough into sixteen 1Ā 1/2-inch (4-cm) rounds. On the baking sheets, flatten the rounds so theyāre 3 inches (8 cm) across, spacing them evenly. You can get 8 on a normal 11 by 17-inch (28 by 43-cm) baking sheet, with 3 going lengthwise down the sides and 2 in the center in between.
Step 5
Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets midway during baking, then remove from the oven.
Step 6
Once cool, sandwich ice cream between 2 cookies, then wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.
