Snickerdoodle Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla and egg until just combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again, reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated, about 1 minute. The dough will hold together and be loose and sticky.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, about 1 heaping tablespoon each. Using your hands, roll each portion into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Bake until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the softened ice cream between 2 pint-size paper soup-to-go containers (which should be about the same diameter as the cookies), then freeze.
• When ready to assemble the ice cream sandwiches, place the pecans on a small, flat dish. Using a serrated knife, cut 1-inch rounds of ice cream--straight through the containers--to make big beautiful circles of ice cream to fill the sandwiches. Add an ice cream round to the bottom of one of the cookies and then cover with a right-side up cookie, pressing down to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream rounds. Roll the sandwiches on end in the pecans, using your hands if necessary to help the nuts adhere to the exposed ice cream edge. Serve immediately or freeze, covered, for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter and corn syrup in a large bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla and egg and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated. The dough will be quite loose; refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it firm up a little.
• Scoop out 12 mounds of dough, about 2 scant tablespoons each, and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (The cookies will spread a lot during baking.) Lightly flour your hands and press the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle each cookie with some cinnamon sugar, using all of it.
• Bake, switching the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• To assemble: Turn 6 cookies upside down on a cutting board. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ice cream onto each cookie, and spread with a spoon or butter knife to the edge. Top each with a second cookie, and press down gently to adhere. Serve the ice cream sandwiches right away, or put them in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour, then wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir sugar cookie mix, butter, egg and cream of tartar until soft dough forms.
• In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. Coat balls with the cinnamon-sugar mixture; place on cookie sheet.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until cookies are just set. Watch them closely! You don't want them crispy, browned, and over baked.
• Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• For each sandwich cookie, spread frosting on bottom of 1 cooled cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press cookies together.

Steps:

• FOR SNICKERDOODLES:.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Stir together flour, soda, cream of tartar and salt.
• Beat butter for 30 seconds.
• Add the 2 cups sugar and beat until fluffy.
• Add eggs, milk and vanilla; beat well.
• Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating until well blended.
• Form dough into golf-ball sized balls (or larger) - dough will be sticky.
• Roll in mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
• Place 2-inches apart on greased cooked sheet.
• Flatten with bottom of glass or hand. They need to be flattened a little more than when making regular snickerdoodles.
• Bake at 375° for 9-11 minutes until light golden and just beginning to crack on top. This will vary according to the size of the cookies. But look at them and make sure there are no "shiny" parts.
• Cool completely on wire rack.
• FOR ICE CREAM SANDWICHES:.
• Match cookies by size into pairs.
• Turn one cookie upside-down and place a generous scoop of ice cream (slightly softened, but not too much).
• Quickly place other cookie on top and press down little to smash the ice cream.
• Immediately wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in freezer.
• Repeat with remaining cookies.
• Freeze until firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Get 3 cookie sheets ready (I spray them down with Pam).
• Mix together both sugars, butter, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, eggs, and vanilla in large bowl.
• Slowly sift in flour while stirring. If dough is still sticky, add flour by 1/4 cup until the right consistency is achieved.
• In a separate, smaller bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
• Make an "okay" sign with your hand. The space between your index finger and your thumb is about how big the cookie balls should be.
• Start rolling! Grab a gob of dough and roll it into a ball. Then roll it around in cinnamon-sugar mix.
• Place on cookie tray. Give cookies enough room to rise.
• Once cookie sheet is full, put in oven for 8 minutes.
• Cool for 2 minutes before taking off of cookie sheet.
• In medium-sized bowl, combine softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff. mix with blender until smooth.
• When cookies are cool, take one, spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese fluff mix onto flat end of cookie. Take another cookie and stick the flat end of it onto the cream cheese fluff to make a sandwich.
• Continue until all the cookies are in sandwiches. If there is an odd number of cookies, eat the remaining cookie.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly beat in the flour mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and beat briefly until well combined.
• Scrape the dough onto the baking sheet; spread evenly into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle using a rubber spatula. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on the dough. Bake until golden around the edges, cracked on top and the center is just set but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes (Do not overbake; the cookie will firm up as it cools.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely on the pan, about 1 hour. Cut in half crosswise.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften, about 15 minutes. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang on the sides. Put 1 cookie half in the baking dish, cinnamon sugar-side down. Scoop the softened ice cream on top, covering it completely. Spread the ice cream gently with an offset spatula into an even layer, filling in any gaps or air pockets. Top with the other cookie half, cinnamon sugar-side up. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze in the pan until the ice cream is very firm, about 4 hours.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.
