Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies

1 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and beat until smooth.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. With the mixer on low, add flour mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time, until thoroughly blended.

Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop cookies onto cookie sheet and then slightly flatten them with the bottom of a drinking glass.

Bake the cookies at 375°F until just starting to brown around the edges (6 – 10 minutes depending on your oven.) Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet then remove to wire rack.

When cookies are completely cool, make ice cream sandwiches by scooping one large scoop of slightly softened ice cream onto the middle of one cookie and placing another cookie on top while gently squeezing together.
