Preparation
- Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. Remove the pumpkin ice cream from the freezer, and let it soften at room temperature until it's spreadable but not melted, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the softened ice cream to the prepared baking sheet. Using a silicone spatula, spread it evenly over the parchment to the edges. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper, and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large (21x15-inch) baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Stir together the flour, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until well combined, 3–4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat for about 2 minutes, or until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed with a silicone spatula. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and beat in the flour mixture in 2 additions, beating just until combined, about 1 minute.
- Using a standard cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons) scoop the dough 3 inches apart onto the prepared large baking sheet (the cookie dough will be sticky!).
- Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven, and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack, and let them cool completely, for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer. Using a 3-inch circle cookie cutter or a drinking glass turned upside-down, cut out 12 rounds of ice cream. Sandwich each ice cream round between 2 cookies. Dust the outside of each ice cream cookie with cinnamon, if desired.
- Individually wrap the ice cream sandwiches in parchment paper, then place them in freezer-safe bags. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy!
