Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Cookies:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Ice Cream Filling:

2 cups vanilla ice cream (or your favorite flavor)

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Make the Cookie Dough:

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix until well-blended and creamy.

        - Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.

          - Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, and mix until just combined. The dough should be sticky but manageable.

            Form the Cookies:

              - Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each spoonful (they spread a little).

                - Flatten each portion slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.

                  Bake:

                    - Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers might look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                      - Remove from the oven and let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                        Prepare the Ice Cream:

                          - While the cookies are cooling, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. If you’re using chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips, mix them into the softened ice cream.

                            Assemble the Sandwiches:

                              - Once the cookies have cooled, take a generous scoop of ice cream and place it on the flat side of one cookie. Top it with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

                                - Press gently to secure, and wipe away any excess ice cream that spills out. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.

                                  Chill the Sandwiches:

                                    - Transfer the assembled ice cream sandwiches onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.

                                      Serve & Enjoy:

                                        - Remove from the freezer and let them sit for a couple of minutes before serving for easier biting. Enjoy your Peanut Butter Bliss Ice Cream Sandwiches!
