Tips to prevent your cookies from overbaking

– Check-in on your cookies halfway through baking. Since everyone’s oven is different, the recommended bake time can vary. Set your timer to half of the recommended bake time (i.e. recommended bake time is 10 minutes set a timer for 5 mins). Once the timer goes off, check on the cookies and assess how they are baking.

Are they still basically raw? Add more to the recommended time and keep checking in on them.

Are the edges flattening out, but the top is gooey? Continue baking and follow the recommended time.

Are the edges getting golden brown with a flat and set top? Get your oven mitt ready, those are done!

– Watch the edges of the cookies. Once the cookies have golden edges and the top is set, get ready to take them out of the oven.

– Be aware of carry-over cooking. Carry-over cooking refers to the rest time after food is removed from heat and continues to cook inside. Although this concept often applies to meat, it also occurs within baked treats. Remove cookies from the oven a little earlier, to prevent overbaking them. The cookies will continue to slightly cook once you remove them from the oven, due to carry-over cooking.

How to store ice cream sandwiches

Depending on whether or not you have assembled the ice cream sandwiches, there are two ways to store these cookies:

1. Before Assembly: If you have yet to assemble the ice cream cookie sandwiches (or just want to enjoy the cookies on their own), once the cookies have completely cooled, store them at room temperature in an air-tight container.

2. After Assembly: If your ice cream cookie sandwiches have been assembled, individually wrap each sandwich with parchment or wax paper and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
