Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Cookies:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

For the Ice Cream Filling:

2 cups vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)

1/4 cup crushed peanuts (optional, for added crunch)

For Garnish (optional):

Extra crushed peanuts or chocolate chips

A drizzle of chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.

    Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined. Then, stir in the baking soda and a pinch of salt. The dough will be thick, so mix well.

      Form the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

        Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Remove them from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

          Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches: Once the cookies have cooled, take one cookie and add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the ice cream if using, then place another cookie on top, gently pressing down to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies and ice cream.

            Freeze the Sandwiches: For best results, wrap each ice cream sandwich in plastic wrap and place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to let them set.

              Serve and Enjoy: When ready to enjoy, remove the ice cream sandwiches from the freezer. You can garnish with extra crushed peanuts or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if desired. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of peanut butter cookies and creamy ice cream!
