The Best Almond Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Table of Contents
Let’s be honest. As someone who is allergic to dairy, I have scoured the Earth for the best dairy free ice cream. We love Ben and Jerry’s® dairy-free ice cream…. It is just ridiculously good. We made the cookie recipe with the intention of using them for ice cream sandwiches, but they are also amazing if you just want a warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven almond butter cookie instead. Either way that you enjoy them, they are a family favorite recipe that we continue to make again and again!

What You Will Need
- coconut butter – a great option for keeping your baking recipe dairy-free.
- almond butter – any variety of almond butter works great, or try a combination of a few.
- coconut sugar & brown sugar – these add that wonderful sweetness that are a must when making cookies.
- egg – just one for keeping the cookie structure.
- vanilla extract – a splash for adding flavor to the cookies.
- baking soda & kosher salt – to help this easy recipe rise and amplify that flavor!
- whole wheat flour – a healthy base for the cookie recipe.
- ice cream – we use a dairy-free ice cream, but any variety of ice cream would work great!
How To Make Ice Cream Sandwiches
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to mix the together the cookie dough in a stand mixer or with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Bake them at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool fully and then scoop ice cream on to one cookie. Place the other cookie on top, enjoy immediately, or store in the freezer.
