Coating:
-
3 tablespoons sugar
-
1 tablespoon cinnamon
-
Prepared butter pecan ice cream
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400 F.
-
Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with butter-flavored cooking spray.
-
Mix together sugar, butter, shortening and eggs in a large bowl until fluffy. In a second bowl, stir together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, then gradually stir into sugar mixture until well incorporated to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon for coating the dough.
-
Measure a quarter-cup cookie dough in hands, lightly squeezing together and rolling into a ball.
-
Roll ball into the coating mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet, allowing 1 inch between cookies. Reserve remainder of the coating mix.
-
Bake cookies 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven when slightly golden on the edges. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets.
-
Soften ice cream and spread a spoonful on the bottom of one cooled cookie. Top the ice cream with a second cookie, and press ice cream edges into the remaining coating mix.
-
Place monsterdoodle ice cream sandwiches in the freezer to harden. Sandwiches can be individually wrapped in foil and stored in the freezer up to two weeks if not eaten within a few hours.
