What are ice cream scoop cookies?
As their name suggests, ice cream scoop cookies have the appearance of real ice cream scoops. They are made from shortcrust pastry that can be refined as desired, just like ice cream. Using an ice cream scoop, balls are scooped out of the dough onto a baking tray and baked.
Available in different flavors
You can prepare these special cookies in many different flavors, similar to the edible cookie dough. The recipe is therefore very versatile and can be modified as required.
I made the cookies with vanilla flavor and chocolate chips. Instead of dark chocolate, as in my recipe, you can also use milk chocolate or white chocolate.
You can also make chocolate ice cream scoop cookies. To do this, replace some of the flour in the recipe with the same amount of cocoa powder.
Refreshing and very aromatic lemon flavored ice cream scoop cookies, similar to the lemon butter cookies, the Sicilian almond cookies or the lemon crinkle cookies. Mix fresh lemon zest into the dough.
You can also refine the cookies with various nuts or colorful sugar sprinkles. There are no limits to your imagination.
Vegan ice cream scoop cookies
