Funfetti Ice Cream Sanwiches
Funfetti ice cream sandwiches start with a delicious funfetti sugar cookie.
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups sugar I used Dixie Crystals
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract I used Adams Extracts
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles I used Sweets & Treats
- Additional Sweets and Treats rainbow sprinkles for rolling
Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix again for 1-2 minutes until the batter lightens in color. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- By hand, gently stir in the sprinkles.
- Scoop the cookie dough into rounded ball, I use my #24 cookie scoop, and place on the prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until slightly crackly on top. Allow to cool on baking sheet 3 - 5 minutes to set.
- Removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once completely cool, assemble ice cream sandwiches.
!Assemble ice cream sandwiches:
- Place rainbow sprinkles on a plate.
- Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream on the underside of one cookie. Gently press a second cookie on top to flatten ice cream. Immediately roll edges in sprinkles. You can also sprinkle the jimmies around the edge.
- Wrap each funfetti ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and return to freezer for 1 hour to set.
