Ingredients You Will Need For a Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

Here’s a quick overview of the key ingredients for this recipe. For the full list of ingredients and exact measurements, be sure to check the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Christie Cookie Company, the maker of the Masters ice cream sandwich, does not share its exact recipe. To recreate this copycat version at home, I studied the ingredients listed for their sugar cookies and used similar high-quality ingredients to get a soft, chewy cookie like the ones served at the Masters.

Ingredients for the Ice Cream Sandwich Cookie

• Butter: You’ll never find butter blends or margarine in our cookies. We only use 100% pure butter.
• Flour: Non-GMO, high-protein flour is sourced from American farms.
• Sugar: No flake or bleached sugar. We only use pure cane sugar for both our white and brown sugars. No GMOs.
• Eggs: Free-range chickens are fed nutritious corn and flaxseed meal, making the eggs they produce nutrient-rich.
• Vanilla: No fake or vanilla blend. We use the highest quality that is sourced from Madagascar Vanilla Beans.
• Corn Syrup: After several trys at creating this copycat soft and chewy cookie I finally figured it out! Corn syrup can contribute to the soft and chewy texture of a cookie, even when frozen, due to its hygroscopic nature.

Ingredients For The Ice Cream Sandwich Filling

• Peach Ice Cream:Start with a good quality store bought peach ice cream. It holds its texture better than homemade ice cream when blending and refreezing for sandwiches.
• Frozen Peaches: Blending frozen peaches into the ice cream adds small pieces of fruit throughout the filling. This helps mimic the texture of the famous Masters peach ice cream sandwich, where you taste bits of real peach in each bite.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: A small amount of cream helps the ice cream blend smoothly with the peaches so it spreads evenly before freezing.

How To Make the Masters Peach Ice Cream Sandwich

Cookie Baking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. You could also spray them with non-stick cooking spray if you prefer.
2. Place room temperature butter, brown and white sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, almond extract, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
3. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat until well blended.
4. Next, it is important to form your cookie dough into uniform-sized balls so your sandwich tops and bottoms are the same size. Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, form the dough into even-sized balls.

5. Place the cookie dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheets about two inches apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Oven temperatures fluctuate, so keep an eye on the cookies around the 10-minute mark. You want the cookies to be firm in the center, but do not let them start to brown.
7. After the cookies have been baked and cooled, I will pair them by size. This will make it easier when you’re ready to assemble your sandwiches.

How To Make The Peach Ice Cream Filling

1. Allow the ice cream to thaw just a bit. Set it on your counter until you can easily place a knife in the center.
2. Next, place the ice cream in a Vitamix blender or something similar. Add the frozen peaches and a bit of heavy whipping cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Line a quarter-sheet baking pan with wax paper. Add the peach ice cream and smooth it out level with a spatula.
4. Freeze this pan for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Assembling The Ice Cream Sandwiches

Use a cookie cutter the same size as your cookies to cut out frozen ice cream. Press firmly, then push up from the bottom for a clean cut. Place the ice cream on a cookie, use a spoon to release it, and top with another cookie. Repeat.

Tip: Dip the cookie cutter in cold water between cuts for best results.

Wrapping and Storage

After making the Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwiches, wrap each one in parchment or wax paper, folding the sides and tucking in the edges for a snug fit. Then, wrap them in aluminum foil to keep them fresh. Label with the name and date before storing in the freezer. Properly wrapped, they’ll stay fresh and chewy for up to three months in your freezer.

• After cutting through, gently place your free hand underneath the wax paper and push up from the bottom to make sure you have a clean cut.
• Put the circular ice cream and cookie cutter on the bottom of one of the cookies.
• Using a spoon, push the ice cream from the cutter onto the cookie bottom.
