Ingredient Notes and Variations
Almond butter: Using almond butter for your cookies will enhance its nutty texture and add a rich flavor profile. Experiment with variations of almond butter, like smooth almond butter for a velvety texture or crunchy butter to add texture.
Almond flour and all-purpose flour: Combine both flours to balance almond essence and traditional cookie texture perfectly. Almond flour is one of the best gluten-free options for your cookies.
Nutmeg: Nutmeg adds aroma and warm flavors to the cookies. It complements the almond flavor. You can use cinnamon to add innovative flavor and aroma to these cookies.
Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate’s high-end cocoa content gives your cookies a decadent and luxurious touch. To twist the coating, experiment with other chocolate flavors like sea salt or orange.
Brown sugar: It adds sweetness to the cookies. If you want deep caramelized flavors, use dark brown sugar. For mild sweetness, use light brown sugar. Alternatively, you can use maple syrup or coconut sugar.
Ice cream: Choose your favorite ice cream to pair with almond cookies. Add vanilla, strawberry, almond fudge, salted caramel, or more. Vegan ice cream is another option to choose from.
How To Make Almond Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies
1: Mix the ingredients
Take a bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in it until fluffy. It may take 2 minutes. Add almond butter and beat to get a smooth texture.
In a bowl, egg yolk, almond extract, and vanilla extract are mixed and beat to mix well. Sift the almond flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Combine them well to make dough.
3: Make cookies
Take a small amount of the dough and give it a round shape. Coat each cookie by rolling it in granulated sugar.
Transfer them to a baking sheet. Ensure that there is an inch distance between cookies. Make beautiful marks on the cookies by using a fork.
4: Rest the cookies
After placing the cookies on the baking sheet, let them rest. You can place them in the refrigerator to chill until you warm your oven.
5: Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven and keep the temperature at 350°F. Spread the baking sheet with cookies in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
6: Decorate the cookies
Take the cookies out of the oven and cool at room temperature.
Now drizzle some melted dark chocolate on the cookies and place them in the freezer for a few seconds or until set.
7: Fill in the ice cream
Take out a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream and place it on the plain side of the cookies.
Top it with another cookie and press it gently to maintain the shape.
Eat them instantly or keep them in the freezer until they are ready to serve.
