  • 1 cup packed white sugar
  • 1 cup butter (room temp)

For filling:

  • favorite vanilla ice cream
  • favorite jam (I used apricot, strawberry and raspberry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center position of oven. Place parchment paper on cookie sheet.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl use a hand mixer to cream butter, almond butter and sugars.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mix till well combined.

  5. Add vanilla. Mix.

  6. Add dry ingredients a little at a time and mix till well combined.
  7. Roll into 1 1/2" balls, press with a fork to make a criss cross pattern.

  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling with ice cream.

To fill: set ice cream on counter for 10-15 minutes or until slightly soft

  1. Turn first cookie upside down, spoon ice cream onto cookie, gently pressing it towards the edges. Be careful not to break the cookies. Drizzle with jam and place second cookie on top.

  2. Serve right away or wrap well in freezer or wax paper, place in freezer safe dish with lid and store in freezer until ready to serve! PS the assembly process needs to be fast, a helper is beneficial.
