Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup red sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the red and blue sprinkles.
  7. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once the cookies are cool, take one cookie, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the flat side, and top with another cookie, flat side down. Gently press together to form a sandwich.
  11. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
  12. Place the sandwiches in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
