Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches

Strawberry Ice Cream and Chocolate Wafer Cookies

For Strawberry Ice Cream Day we decided to make ice cream sandwiches.  I could only manage one of these rich cookies, so I didn’t have mine as a sandwich.  But I didn’t hear anyone else complain and we had fun making them!

SERVES 9

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, beat brown sugar and shortening.  In a separate bowl combine baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.  Mix into the sugar mixture.  Incorporate the vanilla.

Gradually add in the flour and 4-6 tablespoons of water in the bowl of a stand mixer, alternating flour and water until dough comes together.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out batches of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Use a knife or cookie cutters to cut into squares or shapes, re-rolling as needed to make 18 cookies.

Bake on greased cookie sheets for 7-8 minutes.  Allow to cool on sheet a couple of minutes then move to a baking rack to cool completely.

To make into sandwiches spread slightly softened ice cream on the backside of one cookie and top with a matching shape.   Chill in the freezer until it is time to enjoy!
