Cook Time: 10 minutes // Cooling and Freezing 2 hours 30 minutes

Serving Size: 6

Ingredients

Brownie Cookies

1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (62 g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon (3 g) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (1 g) salt
1/2 cup (113 g) Straus Organic European Style Lightly Salted Butter, softened
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (80 g) packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract

Assembly

5 pints Straus Organic Caramel Swirl Ice Cream
2/3 cup sea salt caramel (recipe click above), optional

Instructions

Brownie Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
Step 2

In the base of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or bowl with a hand mixer), beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together on medium high. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Step 3

Add the egg, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix for 1-2 more minutes on medium-high speed. On low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Step 4

Line a half cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the dough into the parchment lined half sheet pan. Spread it into an even layer and bake for just under 10 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. Cool.

Assembly

Step 1

Remove the cooled brownie cookie from the pan and cut the sheet in half so there are two even pieces.
Step 2

After the cookie is removed, place a new piece of parchment paper in the half cookie sheet. Place one half of the cookie back in the cookie sheet. If using, spread the caramel over top (leaving ½ inch border around the edges). Scoop the ice cream over top of the caramel and spread in an even layer (leaving ½ inch border around the edges). Place the second layer of brownie cookie on top. Freeze for 2 hours or overnight.
Step 3

Remove the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer. Trim the edges as needed. Cut into bars. Freeze until serving.
