Ingredients

Cookies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup peanut butter chips

Ice Cream

• 1½ cups parve whip, divided
• 1 8-oz package cream cheese, Tofutti works great
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

To Make the Cookies:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In the bowl of your mixer, cream together the margarine, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating well to combine after each addition.
3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in your mixer, and mix on low just until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated. Add in the peanut butter chips and stir to distribute evenly.
4. Drop the cookies using a medium cookie scoop (or a heaping tablespoon) onto the prepared cookie sheet. The cookies will spread, so make sure they aren’t too close together.
5. Bake the cookies at 375 for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.

To Prepare the Ice Cream:

1. In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat 1 cup of the parve whip until stiff. Remove from mixer and set aside.
2. Beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined.
3. Add the remaining half a cup of parve whip and beat until it is incorporated and mixture is smooth. Fold the peanut butter mixture into the reserved whip and stir gently until fully combined.
4. Pour the ice cream into a 9x13” pan and freeze the ice cream for at least an hour or two, or overnight, until it is firm enough to shape.

To Assemble the Sandwiches:

1. To Assemble the cookies:
2. When the ice cream is firm enough to work with, spoon some of it onto the bottom of a cookie.
3. Place it in the center, then press another cookie down over it and squeeze gently to force the ice cream to the edge of the cookie. Use more or less ice cream for the center, depending on your taste. Freeze ice cream sandwiches until ready to serve.
