INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup melted and cooled coconut oil

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Kodiak Cakes Mix (we used Power Cakes)

2/3 cup of your favorite chocolate chips

1 quart vanilla ice cream

½ cup red, white and blue sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl mix coconut oil, brown sugar, egg and vanilla together until combined. It is important that your coconut oil is NOT hot and that you egg is at room temperature. To bring your egg to room temp, simply place under warm running water for 1 minute. 

3. Add Kodiak Cakes to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. If mix looks extra wet add extra Kodiak Cakes (up to ¼ cup) just until combined.  Fold in chocolate chips. 

4. Using a cookie scoop drop dough onto baking sheet, placing each dough ball 2 inches apart. Do not flatten balls. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden brown. 

- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

5. Once cookies are cooled place them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Remove ice cream from the freezer 5 minutes before you are ready to make the sandwiches. 

6. Remove cookies from the freezer, scoop 1 scoop of ice cream onto the bottom of 1 cookie, place another cookie on top and gently smash them together. Roll edges in sprinkles and place in freezer on cookie sheet or baking pan.

7. Freeze for at least 1 hour. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving to allow them to soften slightly. Enjoy!
