Cookie Cat Ice Cream Sandwiches

We are a feline family AND we LOVE ice cream, so in one of my creating fun summer treats, I decided to make Cookie Cat Ice Cream Sandwiches!

Ingredients:

• 2 Tubs Ice Cream
• 1 1/2 Cups of Chocolate Cake Mix
• 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 Cup Shortening or Softened Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1 Tablespoon Water

Directions:

• Freeze the ice cream flat in a pan.
  • Let the ice cream melt a little so it’s easily spreadable and then you’re going to refreeze it overnight.
  • I used parchment paper underneath so it’d be easier to handle once frozen.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, shortening, egg, and water.
• Mix together until fully combined into a batter.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes (up to overnight.)

• Roll out your dough
  • A little trick when working with chocolate dough, use cocoa powder to flour the surface and rolling pin! That way you won’t have a bunch of white flour all over your beautiful chocolate dough.
• Cut out your cookie shapes.

• Use a straw or toothpick to make little eyes for your cats.
  • You only need to do this on half your cat heads.
• Bake at 375 for 5-7 minutes.
• Let cool completely!

• Working semi-quickly, cut out you cookie shaped ice cream.
• Place on the bottom cookie and top with your eyeball cat.
• Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze until you’re ready to serve!

OMG! How cute are these?!?

The ice cream sandwiches turned out AMAZING! I’ll be using this recipe all summer long! The cookie stayed crisp on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside. The combo of vanilla and black raspberry ice creams was spot on, but you could choose any flavors that your family likes!
