Ice Cream Cone Cookies
Chewy cookies made with ground up sugar cone bits! These stay chewy even when frozen and are perfect for sandwiching with ice cream.
Servings 24 cookies (enough for 12 sandwiches)
Ingredients
- 200 g or 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 145 g butter unsalted
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 rolled sugar cones ground, 60g
- 210 g all purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda if you want extra thin cookies add an extra 1/8 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Set the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat until almost melted. Add the sugars, whisk and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds.
- Whisk the mix until the butter is not noticeably separating from the sugar and then add the eggs and whisk until you have a very smooth batter. Add the salt, baking soda, powder and vanilla and whisk well.
- Add the flour and ground up sugar cones and stir to incorporate into a cohesive dough. Add the chocolate chips, if using, and if you want, use your hands to crush through two additional sugar cones. Fold altogether and cover the bowl.
- Set in the fridge and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two greased cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- You can portion and bake the cookies as is (about 1.5-2.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) or you can portion and then roll them in granulated sugar mixed with some more ground up sugar cone, or you can add some more chocolate chips to the top.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, if your cookies are larger than 1.5 tablespoons you might need a few more minutes. If you didn’t use the ⅛ tsp baking soda to get a thinner spread but want them to spread a bit more you can lift the pan while the cookies are in the oven then drop it on the rack, this will flatten them slightly.
- Chill cookies completely before adding ice cream to sandwich. Or eat hot off the oven, they’re super tasty ;-)

Notes
How big you scoop the cookies will change how many they make: I tend to scoop 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and they make 24 small-ish cookies (enough for 12 ice cream sandwiches).
