Ingredients

  • 135 grams of White Rice Flour
  • 81 grams of Tapioca Flour
  • 54 grams of Almond Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon of Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • ½ teaspoon of Salt
  • 110 grams of Unsalted Butter at Room Temperature
  • 70 grams of Cream Cheese at Room Temperature
  • 170 grams of Dark Brown Sugar

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 300 grams of Chocolate M&M
  • 500 ml Of Gluten-Free Vanilla Ice cream or Chocolate Ice Cream

Instructions

  • In your stand-alone mixer with the paddle attachment or using a hand-held mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar together at medium speed until light and fluffy (3 - 5 Minutes)
  • Then add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix at low speed using the paddle attachment until combined. ( 3 Minutes)
  • Now add in the chocolate M&M and incoproate it into the cookie dough using a spatula.
  • Then cover the cookie dough tightly and chill the dough in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • After the cookie dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 180 °C. While the oven is heating, align your cookie tray with baking paper.
  • Using an ice-cream scooper, scoop the dough and place them on the baking paper at least 5 cm apart.
  • Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10 to 11 minutes until the cookie's bottom is slightly golden.
  • Once the cookies are baked, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before removing them from the baking pan and placing them on a cooling rack.
  • Turn 12 cookies upside down and add two scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Then, spread the ice cream to the edges of each cookie using a flat surface such as the back of a measuring cup (see photo above)
  • Afterward, close each cookie sandwich with the remaining cookies. You should have a total of 12 cookie sandwiches.

Notes

  • You can prepare the cookie dough the night before and store it in the fridge. 
  • The M&M ice cream cookies sandwiches can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.
