Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Sandwiches
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the peanut butter and egg until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, then add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Drop rounded portions of dough onto baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are still soft.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Assemble the sandwiches by scooping ice cream onto one cookie and topping with another cookie.
  9. Optionally, freeze the sandwiches for 20-30 minutes to firm up ice cream before serving.
