Step-by-Step Instructions for Ice Cream Sandwiches

In a large mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter and ¾ cup of sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add in one egg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Gradually sift in 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft; let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Allow the cookies to cool on the wire rack for at least 10 minutes before assembling.
Take one cooled cookie, add a scoop of ice cream on top, and gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich.
Arrange sandwiches on a baking sheet and return them to the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up.

Ensure cookies are fully cooled before assembling to prevent melting ice cream. Experiment with unique flavors for varied ice cream sandwiches.
