Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup red and blue sprinkles
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • 1 pint strawberry ice cream
  • 1 pint blueberry ice cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the red and blue sprinkles gently into the cookie dough.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop small amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the cookies are completely cooled, assemble the mini ice cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies.
  • Repeat the process with strawberry and blueberry ice cream, creating different colored sandwiches.
  • Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least one hour to firm up before serving.
