Ice Сream cookies

Do you like Ice Cream? 

I love Ice Cream!

Today I brought  Ice Cream cookies with recipe.

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour, 
1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon good quality vanilla extract

Parchment paper

Directions:

- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder and set aside.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  This should take about 3 minutes.

- Add the egg and vanilla and beat another minute or so.

- Add the flour mixture slowly.  (Be careful not to add too much at a time or you will have a snowstorm of flour.)

- Blend until all of the flour is incorporated and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

- Take the dough out of the bowl and place it on a piece of parchment paper.  

- Using your hands, knead the dough a few times.

- Place the dough in a large plastic (ziplock type) bag and refrigerate for about 2 hours.  If you want to speed up the chilling process, place the bag of dough in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. Just don't forget it in the freezer, or it will become to firm to work with (and then you'll have to wait for it to thaw).  

- When it's almost time to remove the dough from the refrigerator (or freezer), preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

- When the dough has chilled and is firm, take out about half of the dough, leaving the rest in the refrigerator (until your ready to work with it).
