Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups ice cream (vanilla or your choice)
1/4 cup red and blue sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, scoop ice cream onto the bottom side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Roll edges in sprinkles for decoration.
Serve immediately or freeze for about an hour for firmer sandwiches.
