Description

Ingredients

• Cookies
• 2½ cups gluten-free flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 2 tspn vanilla
• 1 tspn baking soda (gluten-free, remember!)
• ½ tspn salt
• ¾ cup melted coconut oil
• ½ cup aquafaba (yeah, bean juice, you know you love it)
• 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• Ice Cream
• 4 cans coconut milk (refrigerated overnight)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ tspn vanilla extract (clear)

Directions

• To make the ice cream, start by opening your coconut milk cans and scoop the thick cream part into a bowl, trying to get as little of the coconut water as possible. Discard coconut water or just set aside for chugging later, whatever.
• Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Mix on high 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer until it becomes stiff and fluffy.
• Put the ice cream in the freezer until youre ready to use it. An hour should be long enough.
• To make the cookies, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper, or similar.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients.
• In a second mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients except chocolate chips.
• Add dry ingredients to wet in ⅓ increments.
• Mix well.
• Fold-in chocolate chips until mixed throughout.
• Roll into small balls and then place on the baking sheet approximately 2-inches apart. Leave the balls alone for more chewy cookies. For more flat and crunchy cookies, pat them down a little to spread them out.
• Bake in the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes or until they are completely cool to the touch.
• To assemble the ice cream sandwiches, just place a scoop of soft ice cream between 2 cookies and kind of smoosh it into shape.
• Then, drop some chocolate chips on the ice cream, so that you can have a little more chocolate in your life! LOL!
