Servings: persons

3-1/2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened
3 Tablespoons Shortening
1/2 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 whole Egg Yolk (from 1 Large Egg) Save White For Another Use
1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
1/2 cups Flour
1/4 cups Cocoa Powder
1/4 teaspoons Plus 1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Instant Espresso Powder
1/8 teaspoons Salt
1 pint Your Favorite Brand Of Mint Chip Ice Cream

1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar. Once fluffy, add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat to combine. Set aside.
3
In a small bowl, combine all remaining ingredients (except the ice cream, duh), whisking well. Sprinkle about 1/2 of the mixture over the butter and sugar mixture, beat until combined, then sprinkle in the rest. Beat until just combined-do not overmix.
4
Scoop your cookies and roll them into balls in your hands. Use 2 teaspoons of dough for small cookies or 1 heaping tablespoon of dough for larger cookies. Place them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) and bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on size of cookie. They are done when they start to crack on top. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on sheet for 1 minute before moving cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
5
When ready to serve, place 1 large scoop of ice cream on the bottom of 1 cookie and top with another cookie. If there are leftovers, wrap the sandwiches in plastic wrap and freeze them. Let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.

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.
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.
