Chilli Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: To make the cookies crisper, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

   Tip: Optional: To ensure the mixture is smooth, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. 4

   Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chilli powder and cinnamon.

5. 5

   Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Optional: To achieve the desired shape, flatten the dough balls slightly.

6. 6

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

7. 7

   Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking tray.

   Tip: Optional: To speed up the cooling process, place the tray in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

8. 8

   To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies.

   Tip: Optional: To prevent the ice cream from melting, place the sandwiches in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Drizzle melted dark chocolate chips over the top of the ice cream.

10. 10

    Sprinkle with chilli powder and cinnamon, if desired.

    Tip: Optional: To enhance the flavour, use a combination of dark and milk chocolate chips.
