Ingredients
  

Ingredients For Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

  • 1 Cup butter Room tempurature
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup  White Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Molasses
  • 3 Cups Rolled Oats Not quick oats
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 tsp Corn Starch
  • 1 Cup Raisins optional

Ingredients For Brown Sugar Ice Cream

  • 1 Container Vanilla Ice Cream (48 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp Molasses
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • Toffee Bits or Milk Chocolate Chips for garnish

Instructions
 

Making The Brown Sugar Ice Cream

  • Soften your vanilla ice cream until it's easy to work with.
  • Spoon your ice cream into a large mixing bowl and add molasses, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Using a hand mixer, or a large spoon stir until completely combined. I like to use a mixer because it helps the brown sugar dissolve a bit more quickly.
  • Return Ice Cream to the freezer until ready to use.

Making the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

  • Combine flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream together butter and both sugars until well combined.
  • Add eggs and molasses and beat until fluffy.
  • Add the dry ingredients a little at a time until just fully incorporated. Do not over-mix.
  • Add raisins or chocolate chips(if using).
  • Cover cookie sheets in parchment paper(don't skip this step or your cookies may be flat!)
  • Roll large balls of cookie dough(4 tablespoons each) and place on cookie sheet. Place no more than 4-6 cookies on a sheet. They will spread when baking.
  • Let cookie dough balls rest in the fridge for at least an hour or longer. Don't skip this step! It's important.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. If the cookie is still a little round when they are done, just press it down a bit with the back of a spoon. It's ok for the cookies to be a bit doughy when you first pull them out of the oven. They will continue to bake a bit on the pan as they are cooling. Move them to a cooling rack to finish cooling once they've set up completely.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before assembling the ice cream cookie sandwiches.

Assembling the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

  • Pull out the ice cream and allow it to soften on the counter for a bit.
  • Place a single scoop of ice cream on one of the oatmeal cookies. Use a knife to spread it evenly around.
  • Put a second oatmeal cookie on top of the ice cream.
  • Roll the edges of the ice cream in toffee bits or chocolate chips.
  • Enjoy the ice cream cookie sandwiches right away, or place them in the freezer to harden up a bit before serving.
  • Store leftover ice cream cookie sandwiches in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the freezer.
