Ingredients

Scale

For the Peanut Butter Cookies

2 cups peanut butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Ice Cream Sandwich

1 gallon strawberry ice cream, softened

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, granulated sugar, peanut butter, salt, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and uniform in texture. The combination will be thick and sticky.
Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough just slightly smaller than the desired final cookie size, as they will spread during baking. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Assemble Sandwiches: Once the cookies are fully cooled, take the softened strawberry ice cream and scoop a generous amount onto the bottom side of one cookie. Press another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat for all cookies.
Freeze: Wrap each ice cream sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Place them in the freezer and freeze overnight or until the ice cream is fully firmed.
Serve: Remove from the freezer shortly before serving to slightly soften. Serve cold and enjoy the perfect combination of creamy ice cream and peanut butter cookie texture.

Notes

For softer cookies, slightly reduce the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
Use room temperature eggs to ensure better mixing of dough ingredients.
If preferred, substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a richer cookie flavor.
Store the assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before assembling to ease spreading.
