the Speculoos spread (while still mixing) and continue mixing an
additional 5 minutes. Turn off and pour into a freezer safe container.
Freeze for 2 hours (or overnight) before using in the ice cream
sandwiches.
- For the cookies, beat butter
with sugars until combined. Add Speculoos, milk and vanilla and beat 1-2
minutes. Add egg. Beat in flour, salt and baking powder.
- Drop cookies by 2Tbsp scoop
onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for
11-13 minutes.
- Remove and cool on pan for 3
minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- To assemble, pair cookies
into same sized pairs. Scoop one large scoop of icecream onto one cookie.
Top with second cookie, pressing slightly. Enjoy immediately or wrap
cookies individually in foil and return to freezer to enjoy later!
Notes
**Make your
ice cream according to YOUR machine directions for vanilla ice cream. Add Speculoos
in during the last 5 minutes. It's okay if it doesn't mix in completely, the
unmixed Speculoos freezes into delicious chunks! **If you don't want to make
ice cream sandwiches, you can enjoy the soft ice cream immediately. Store ice
cream in freezer safe container for up to one week. ENJOY. **to keep your
cookies nice a flat, freeze cookies for one hour before adding ice cream.
