Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Sandwiches
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/8 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring hands
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
- Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter and corn syrup in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the vanilla and egg and whisk until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
- The dough will be quite loose; refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it firm up a little.
- Scoop out 12 mounds of dough, about 2 scant tablespoons each, and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- (The cookies will spread a lot during baking.)
- Lightly flour your hands and press the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle each cookie with some cinnamon sugar, using all of it.
- Bake, switching the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies rest on the sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- To assemble: Turn 6 cookies upside down on a cutting board.
- Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ice cream onto each cookie, and spread with a spoon or butter knife to the edge.
- Top each with a second cookie, and press down gently to adhere.
- Serve the ice cream sandwiches right away, or put them in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour, then wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
