It is officially Labor Day, which is crazy. I feel like a small part of me is stuck in March, and yet fall is fast approaching. I am not complaining though. This Labor Day is quite different from the last. While we are staying safe at home, it doesn’t mean we can’t have some delicious eats. We will be ending the evening with some of these Corn Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches, that much is for sure!
The cookie base for these corn cookie ice cream sandwiches comes from a box. I used Trader Joe’s Corn Cookie Baking Mix. These corn cookies were super quick to put together and took about 15 minutes in the oven. The cookies themselves are chewy and reminiscent of a sugar cookie, but with a corn flavor. There may be other corn cookie mixes out there, if you can’t get your hands on a box from Trader Joe’s.
Ice Cream Sandwiches
As stated above and in the title of this recipe, corn cookies are the base to these ice cream sandwiches. The cookies are soft and chewy, which makes them a great base for ice cream.
The ice cream of choice for this recipe is strawberry. While I used a dairy-free version, feel free to use your favorite brand.
The corn flavor from the cookies pairs absolutely beautifully with the strawberry ice cream center.
Assembly
This recipe is basically fool proof.
The first step is to bake the cookies according to the package instructions. I scooped mine with a medium sized cookie scoop, as the box specified. If you want larger or smaller ice cream sandwiches, feel free to use a large scoop.
After cookies have baked, they need to be cooled completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Pull the strawberry ice cream out about 5 minutes before scooping, to soften. Scoop ice cream onto the corn cookies, one large scoop on each. Place another cookie on top and gently push down.
Place ice cream sandwiches into the freezer for at least 20 minutes to firm back-up before eating.
These corn cookie ice cream sandwiches really are an homage to summer. These are the perfect way to celebrate the season before it comes to an end. I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day. Here’s to the coming fall and everything it has to bring.
