The PB&J sandwich…it’s an American standard. But I like to switch it up a bit with the occasional AB&J…almond butter and jam sandwich…in cookie form…stuffed with vanilla bean ice cream. See what I mean? This is the Almond Butter and Jam Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich!

Let’s Chat About the Almond Butter and Jam Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich:

Oh my. Homemade ice cream, sandwiched between two soft almond butter cookies and drizzled with your favorite jam. There’s only one word to describe it. Delectable. Decadent. Exquisite. Okay…there is more than one word to describe it.

The best part about this mouth watering dessert is that you can make these fantastic ice cream treats in advance, wrap them in wax or freezer paper and keep them in the freezer until you have guests over…or until you want one. Even if there are no guests, and you are alone watching The Bachelor. No judgement here.

WANT TO MAKE THESE COOKIES GLUTEN FREE? NO PROBLEM!

If gluten free living is your thang, you don’t have to sacrifice taste or texture. I use Gluten Free Jovial Pastry Flour, because it’s the best for baking and works perfectly in this decadent pumpkin bread. It’s also soaked for easy digestion!

The Recipe: Almond Butter and Jam Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Tips and what you will need:  You can find my recipe for simple no churn homemade ice cream here. If you would rather use store bought, I recommend Haagen Dazs vanilla. You will need a cookie sheet, a hand mixer, unbleached parchment paper and wax or freezer paper.. I like to store my sandwiches flat in a glass baking dish with a lid. (affiliate links)
