Cake Mix Lemon Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Several years ago, my Granny gave me a few different recipes for Cake Mix Cookies, and from that batch of ideas, these Cake Mix Lemon Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches were born.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Ice Cream Scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Lemon Cake Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • Vanilla Ice Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, or in a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, mix together the eggs and vegetable oil until the eggs have completely broken down.
  • Add the cake mix and continue to stir until well incorporated. Be sure not to overmix.
  • This dough is going to be pretty sticky. To make it easier to handle, I would suggest popping it in the refrigerator for about half an hour. It's not necessary, but it will be helpful.
  • Make dough balls that contain 2 tablespoons of cookie dough. You can use a small cookie dough scoop to help you with this. Place each of the 2-inch balls evenly on the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the lemon sandwich cookies in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Like all cake mix cookies, you're not looking for a golden brown color to let you know they're finished. Once they've finished in the oven, let them continue to cook residually on the hot pan for 5 minutes.
  • You can't add the ice cream until the cookies cool. So after the 5 minutes of pan cooking, speed the rest of the process up by moving the cookies over to a cooling rack.
  • Flip one cookie over, add a scoop of ice cream to the bottom of the cookie, then place a second cookie on top! Voila! A lemon ice cream sandwich! Enjoy immediately, or wrap up in parchment paper to store in the freezer for later.
