Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by creaming together the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until edges are golden.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, scoop your favorite ice cream between two cookies and gently press together.
  8. Freeze the sandwiches for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure cookies are completely cooled before adding ice cream to prevent melting.
