What you’ll need:
-sugar cookie dough (you can use your own recipe or see my recipe here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChYHkqtkHFM )
-red and blue food coloring (I prefer Americolor in Super Red and Royal Blue)
-vanilla ice cream
-red, white and blue jimmies or sprinkles or colored sugar

Mix the wet ingredients of your sugar cookies and divide into two equal portions in two separate bowls. Color each half with red and blue food coloring. Add half the dry ingredients to each bowl and continue mixing until a dough forms. Put dough in a ziptop baggie and refrigerate according to recipe directions.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 3/16″ thick (4-5mm). Cut out star shapes using a 3.5″ star cookie cutter. Put onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and bake according to recipe instructions. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool completely.

Place a heavy plate into the freezer for about an hour to get cold and use it to mold your ice cream using the same star cookie cutter as a mold. Place cookie cutter onto a square of waxed paper and spoon ice cream into the cookie cutter until to the top and level off. Using the back of the spoon, gently unmold the ice cream and place into the freezer.

To assemble, place a cookie on top of the ice cream star and gently press down. Turn over and remove waxed paper and place another cookie and gently squeeze together. Place back into the freezer and continue with the rest of your cookies and ice cream stars.

When frozen firm, sprinkle edges of ice cream with sprinkles and wrap in waxed paper to store and serve. Enjoy!!
