Serves: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup coconut butter
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons flaxmeal (ground flaxseeds)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups sorghum flour
- pinch of sea salt
- 10 oz. bag dairy free miniature chocolate chips (Enjoy Life for allergy-friendly)
Filling:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a stainless steel baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the coconut butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Cream for 1-2 minutes until the coconut butter is light and fluffy and no lumps are present. Add in the brown sugar and vanilla. Continue to mix for 1 minute.
- Place the flaxmeal, baking soda, sorghum flour, and salt into the creamed mixture. Mix together until thoroughly combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the package of chocolate chips and stir until combined.
- Using a tablespoon size scooper, scoop out heaping mounds of dough into the palm of your hand. Roll the dough together into a ball, then lightly flatten out the dough into discs about ½” thick. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown. Remove the sheet from the oven, allowing the cookies to rest on the sheet for 2 minutes before transfering to a cooling rack with a spatula. Do this with care, as the cookies need to be completely cooled in order to hold together completely.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer to lightly soften.
- Create the ice cream sandwiches by placing the softened ice cream between two cookies.
- Place the remaining chocolate chips into a shallow bowl. Roll the ice cream sandwich into the chips and gently press the chips into the cream. Place the ice cream sandwiches onto a platter and refreeze.
