Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped fresh peaches (about 2 ripe peaches)

For the Peach Ice Cream:

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Serving:

Fresh peach slices (optional)

Crushed graham crackers for added texture (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

      Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped fresh peaches gently.

        Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

          Prepare the Peach Ice Cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

            In a separate bowl, mash the diced peaches with lemon juice until slightly chunky. Fold the mashed peaches into the cream mixture.

              Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

                Assemble the Sandwiches: Take a cooled cookie and scoop a generous amount of peach ice cream onto the flat side. Top with another cookie and press gently to create a sandwich.

                  Optional: Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in crushed graham crackers for an extra crunch and flavor.

                    Serve immediately, or freeze them for up to 30 minutes before serving to make them easier to handle.
