During the summer I have been doing some kid's cooking classes and the response has been great!! We have made chocolates, cupcakes, ice cream, pies, and plenty of messes. Last week I did an ice cream class and we made ice cream sandwiches. We used the Pillsbury raspberry cookie mix to make our cookies for the sandwiches. You can make giant or bite size cookies, but be warned the smaller the sandwiches the easier they are to just pop in your mouth. Before you know it they will all be gone!!
Since the sad Blue Bell epidemic ice cream is a touchy subject for this ice cream loving Texan, so when it came time to pick a flavor I was extremely surprised by the Great Value cotton candy flavor. I am not a huge fan of cotton candy flavored stuff but this ice cream is awesome. Plus all the pretty colors from the swirled ice cream and the blue cookies made these sandwiches tasty AND adorable.
My four year old little girl had a blast making these so I hope this recipe is one that you can have fun making with your kids!!!
Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
1 box of Pillsbury blue raspberry premium cookie mix
1/4 cup of flour
1/3 cup melted butter
1 egg
3 Tbs water
Great Value ( or your favorite brand) cotton candy ice cream
Sprinkles (of course)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350
Combine cookie mix, flour, butter, water and egg in a medium bowl. Mix until soft dough is formed. Shape into an even number of balls. Place on an untreated cookie sheet about 2 inches apart then press slightly to flatten cookies.
Bake 7-8 mins then cool for at least 3 minutes on the cookie sheet then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Flip half the cookies flat side up and top with cotton candy ice cream. Then place another cookie on top and roll the edges in sprinkles. Freeze in an airtight container until ready to serve.
