Ingredients
Duncan Hines Red Velvet
Cookies*
1
box Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix
1/3
cup vegetable oil
2
large eggs
granulated
sugar*
Ice Cream Flavor suggestions
from Private Selection Ice Creams
Maine

Additional condiments
Chocolate
Caramel & Sea Salt sauce
1 pint
fresh blueberries (optional)
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 375º F
2.
Put enough sugar to roll cookies in a low shallow bowl and set aside.
3. In
a large mixing bowl, combine the Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix, vegetable
oil and eggs. Mix well with a hand blender, wire whisk or spatula until dough
forms.
4.
Form tablespoon* size balls, then roll each ball in sugar, coating the entire
ball, place the ball on a parchment lined sheet pan about one inch apart. Using
the bottom of a round glass, press down on the ball of dough until it is
approximately 1/2 inch thick.
5.
Bake for 8-10 minutes; the tops of the cookie will look crackled.
6.
Once the cookies are done, allow them to cool for a minute and transfer cookies
to a wire rack to cool completely.
7.
Store in an airtight container with parchment paper or wax paper between each
layer of cookies until ready to use. These can be made a day in advance.
Ice Cream Sandwich assembly
Scoop
favorite Patriotic flavor ice cream and put on top of one cookie, top it with a
bit of Chocolate Caramel & Sea Salt Sauce, then put a second cookie on top.
If the ice cream is soft enough, gently push the two cookies together to spread
the ice cream out towards the edges. Roll one side in blue berries, making sure
they stick to the ice cream. This gives it a nice contrast of red, white and
blue.
Make
a variety of Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches
and freeze them the day before. (Do not put the blueberries on if freezing the
day before). Remove from freezer and serve immediately.
Additional
serving suggestions: Create an ice cream sandwich bar with a variety of
toppings, ice cream flavors and sauces and let each guest make their own
creation.
This
is a perfect 4th of July dessert that is fun, patriotic and easy to
whip up.
Note:
This Red Velvet Cookie recipe is a slight adaptation from Mommy2Angels; the
original recipe can be found on the Duncan Hines website. I have made a couple
of minor changes to the recipe to accommodate my Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwich recipe.
The original recipe calls for powdered
sugar (optional), I have changed it to granulated sugar because I like the deep
red color of the cookie to stand out.
I
have also changed the size of the cookies to make larger ones for the ice cream
sandwiches. I used a 1¾ inch diameter
scooper for a consistent cookie size.
My kids are always pestering me to buy those store bought ones, and as a baker I refuse on principle! What a great alternative!
