Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich Cookie

This ice cream sandwich cookie might taste familiar…that’s because it’s a half batch of Brenda Cookie, without the chocolate chips.

Brenda affectionately calls this, “Giant Slab Vanilla Cookie.”

Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich Cookie

Cream together, mixing for approximately 5 minutes:

1/2 cup (4.5 oz) brown sugar

1/2 cup (4 oz) sugar

10 Tbsp (5 oz) butter, softened 

Then add, stirring until smooth: 

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla 

Sift dry ingredients together and fold into the above mixture:

1 3/4 cups (8.5 oz) flour

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 tsp coarse salt

Dough should be combined but still crumbly. Do not overmix! 

Prepare a half sheet pan (18"x13") 

• Line with parchment paper and 

• Lightly spritz with non-stick cooking spray

Scoop dough, using a large spoon or cookie scoop, distributing evenly over prepared surface. After transferring all of the dough to the sheet pan, use an offset spatula to gently spread the dough in an even layer to fill the sheet pan.

Bake at 350F for ~15 minutes. Cut in half (two pieces = ~13"x9" each).

Let cool completely.
