Ice Cream Sandwiches

This weeks recipe is one for the kids (or any of us adults looking for a little kick of nostalgia!). Actually, we're not sure anyone could resist these gooey brownie cookies stuffed with delicious vanilla ice cream. The rainbow sprinkles add a touch of fun and colour as well but really you could use anything from crumbled nuts to edible glitter! The recipe is so simple so if you are entertaining the kiddos on a rainy day, it's something they can help stir and assemble quite easily. Just be sure to confine sprinkles to one corner unless you want the whole house covered in hundreds and thousands. They get everywhere!

For the filling:


1 pint vanilla ice cream


rainbow sprinkles

For the Cookies:

1 package brownie mix


¼- ½ cup flour


¼ cup vegetable oil


3 tablespoons water


2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Combine brownie mix, ¼ cup flour, oil, water, and eggs. (Depending on the brand of your brownie mix, you may need a bit more flour.) Add in more flour one tablespoon at a time (up to a ¼ cup) until dough is just slightly firm. This is a wet dough. Form heaping tablespoons full of dough and set 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. They will look slightly messy, but form nice round cookies once they’re baked. Bake in preheated oven until cookies are just set, about 9 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for two minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, place in freezer for 30 minutes.

Remove ice cream from freezer five minutes before assembly. Place rainbow sprinkles in a shallow bowl or plate. To assemble the sandwiches, take a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place it on the bottom of a cookie. Using the back of the ice cream scoop, press down the ice cream slightly so it spreads across the cookie. Top with another cookie and press down again, squeezing some of the ice cream to the edge of the cookie. Roll in rainbow sprinkles and serve.
