Servings: persons

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
1/2 teaspoon almond extract pure
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup whole almonds toasted and chopped
3 pints vanilla ice cream softened slightly
1 cup amaretto liqueur

1
Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl.
3
Beat in the eggs and extracts.
4
Add the flour mixture in three parts and stir just until blended.
5
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped almonds.
6
Drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart (do not flatten dough).
7
Slide into a preheated oven at 325 degrees. Bake until the cookies are golden (cookies will flatten slightly), about 13 minutes.
8
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
9
Place the softened ice cream in a large bowl. Mix in the amaretto. Cover the ice cream mixture and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
10
Make the sandwiches! Arrange the cookies, flat side up, on a baking sheet. Top each with a scoop of ice cream, then another cookie, flat side down, pressing slightly to adhere. Enjoy!
11
You can cover and freeze the sandwiches for at least 3 hours if you want them firmer. Sandwiches can be made up to 4 days ahead. Wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap and keep frozen. The cookies also can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
