rose's butterfly ice cream sandwiches

I created these for my Rose...She seems to love them!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon non coloured almond extract
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Edible Color Markers
• Sprinkles
• Vanilla or other favorite flavor ice cream softened

You will need:

*butterfly shaped cookie cutter

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In large bowl, cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg and extracts; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture 1 cup at a time; mix well after each addition. Do not chill dough.

Divide dough into 2 balls. On floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.

Dip cookie cutter in flour before each use. Cut into butterfly shape.

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 7-8 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.

While cookies are cooling, spoon softened ice cream (about 1/2-inch thick) onto small cookie sheet; freeze until firm.

Decorate cooled cookies with edible food markers as desired. Cut butterfly shapes from ice cream using cookie cutter

Place between cooled cookies; dip edges of ice cream sandwich into sprinkles. Serve immediately or freeze until ready to enjoy.
