Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1/3 cup and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (100gr) softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 and 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
For the filling
- Vanilla ice cream or any flavor
- Optional toppings: caramel, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, and so on.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream softened butter with the sugar. Add the powdered sugar and beat. Add the egg, oil, and lemon zest and beat until well incorporated.
- Add the sifted dry ingredients and integrate everything until you have a homogeneous cookie dough.
- Let the dough rest covered in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- On a lightly floured (gluten-free flour) surface, roll the dough about 0,5cm/1cm thick, as taste. Cut out into rounds using a 1 or 2-inch round pastry cutter or similar. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet with a silicone mat or lightly greased.
- Bake for 10/12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before removing.
- When the cookies are completely cooled, place a scoop of ice cream into one side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and gently press together. Add more ice cream if necessary and smooth out the edges.
- Place the cookie sandwich in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Serve with the desired topping.
Notes
Store the ice cream cookie sandwiches in an air-tight container in the freezer. Better to wrap them in wax paper.
