from Easton
1 lbs of butter
4 cups of flour
1 pint of vanilla ice cream
Preserves (Apricot, Strawberry, Raspberry, Poppyseed, etc.)
Powdered sugar (if desired)
Take out ice cream before beginning to let soften
Pour flour into mixing bowl
Cut the butter / scoop the ice cream into medium sized cubes / scoops and add to the bowl
Mix and then knead until smooth and consistent to make dough
You should refrigerate it over night for best results, but it's not absolutely necessary. Even just for 30 min to an hour should be good.
Cut the dough with knives or pastry cutter into the preferred size (I aim for the diameter of an oreo / small cookie and about a quarter inch thick, but they can be wider or thicker based on preference of texture), and then roll out a small amount at a time.
Place onto an ungreased cookie / baking sheet with parchment paper
Put on a dollop of choice filling (preserves)
Bake at 375 degrees for around 20 min, or until lightly brown
Add powdered sugar if desired
Enjoy
