Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup colorful sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoons rainbow nonpareils
  • 2 pints Halo Top Birthday Cake ice cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350*F
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats and set aside.
  4. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  5. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add in the granulated sugar and beat again until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  7. Add in all of the vanilla and 1 egg at a time, thoroughly mixing before adding the next egg.
  8. In three separate additions, add the flour mixture to the butter, sugar, and eggs thoroughly combining the flour before the next addition.
  9. Remove the mixing bowl from electric mixer. Lightly grease your hands with a touch of vegetable oil or softened butter and mix in both the sprinkles and nonpareils by hand.
  10. You may need to knead the dough lightly in the bowl to fully distribute the sprinkles throughout the dough and combine any remaining bits of flour at the bottom of the bowl.
  11. Once the sprinkles are fully combined, scoop out mounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Lightly pat each dough ball down into a half-inch disk. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and the center is just set.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, place 2-3 tablespoons of ice cream on one cooled Fufetti Cookie and top with the second, pressing down lightly to secure.
  14. If you’re feeling frisky, roll the ice cream part of the sandwich in additional sprinkles for decorations. Serve immediately.
Notes
Cookies themselves will keep 5-7 days at room temperature in a tightly closed container or frozen for 2-3 months.
