Instructions
Making PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches entails several easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for baking the cookies.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking soda and salt, mixing until smooth.
5. Add Cookie Dough: Blend in the cookie dough until well incorporated. Your dough should be pliable and slightly sticky.
6. Form Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart (they will spread).
7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Assemble Sandwiches: Once cookies are cool, take one cookie, spread a generous layer of jelly on the bottom, followed by a scoop of ice cream.
10. Top with Another Cookie: Place another cookie on top, pressing it down gently to create a sandwich.
11. Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining sandwiches.
12. Chill: Place assembled sandwiches in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.
