Ingredients
1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour (plus more
for rolling), 1 and 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp baking
soda, fine salt, 6 tbsp unsalted butter (softened), 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp
sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 1 and 1/2 tsp red food colouring, 1 tsp pure
vanilla extract, 2 pints ice cream (any flavour of your choice like
vanilla, butter, strawberry, chocolate, pistachio)
How to make
In
a bowl, sift all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and 1/8 tsp
salt. In another bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until combined.
Add egg yolk and beat until it combines. Now, mix food colouring and
vanilla extract and beat them. Gradually, add the flour mixture in this
batter. Beat just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into
two 1-inch-thick disks. Wrap them tightly in plastic and refrigerate
until firm at least for 2 hours.
Now preheat oven to 350degree
F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Dust a sheet of
parchment paper with flour. Unwrap one disk, place it on the paper and
cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Now roll the dough out to 1/8
inch thick. Peel off the plastic wrap.
Use minimum 2 and 1/2
inch biscuit cutter to cut out the dough. Now place these cookies on the
prepared baking sheets by leaving some space. Gather the scraps, chill
until firm, roll again and cut. Repeat the whole process with the
remaining disk.
Bake the cookies until brick-red. Let the
cookies cool on the sheets for 3 minutes and then transfer them to a
wire rack to cool completely. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment
sheet. Now, place 1 portion of ice cream on 1 cookie and top with
another cookie. Trim off any ragged edges of ice cream. Repeat with the
remaining cookies and ice cream. Freeze them for at least 4 hours or
overnight. Tasty ice cream sandwiches are ready to eat.
